Schools

We know schools are very aware of many children and their needs. At times, teachers can feel daunted with the increasing facets of this important role. 

We want to partner with you to help with children's mental health support. We are unusual in that we are an early intervention children’s mental health charity, so we want to work with families BEFORE they hit crisis. 

You know the children and families; we have expertise and experience to help families improve emotional well-being and child mental health. Together we can make a difference to children and families.

Partnering with is a two-way process:

  • We Will

    - Keep resources, website, workshops and services relevant and up to date for all families. 

    - Send you relevant updates and service changes relevant to your families.

    - Add your school logo to our website as a community partner.

    - Send you information for Children's Mental Health Week

  • You should

    - Share information with families about the support we offer. You can use our professionals page to access all our flyers and leaflets that you can share with parents through your online newsletters (add link to professionals page)

    - Let us know if you want our school's information pack, which has printed posters to put up in school and printed leaflets to share with families

    - Encourage staff to book onto our online workshops. 

    - Add our logo to your website so parents know they can approach us.

    - Contact us if you are concerned about a family that may need bespoke support. (hyperlink bespoke support)

    - During Children’s Mental Health Week in February each year, share our material in school. Ahead of the week, we will share links, teaching plans and parents’ letters for you to use. We do ask that you use the week to raise money for us, either through a non-uniform/ wear yellow day or a cake sale, etc, whatever works best for you.

We look forward to partnering with you to support children and families.

If this would work for your school, please email us at info@standinginthegap.uk, including your logo and an email for the person who will be our champion/ primary contact.
