Danes Educational Trust joins Coalition for Youth Mental Health in schools

Our Director of Education, Chris Marks has been working with the Coalition for Youth Mental Health in schools. The coalition is made up of school leaders from some of the most high-profile state and independent schools in the country, who have united to warn that vulnerable children are being let down because of delays in being able to access mental health services.
Chris says "What has been particularly rewarding about the work being done by the Coalition for Youth Mental Health in Schools is the focus it placed on all aspects of improving mental health within education. One area of focus was on 'Teaching in a Mentally Healthy School' as it was recognised as being of vital importance to have mentally healthy teachers if the profession is to support and improve the mental health of young people."
