All of our training is developed by National mental health in education expert Richard Daniel Curtis.

Richard Daniel Curtis set up the Mental Health Awareness Programme in 2018. He started developing the National Educational Leaders in Mental Health for School Leaders who passed an assessment related to their awareness of mental health ethos and culture provision.

As a result of the green paper “Transforming children and young people’s mental health provision” the government committed to providing trained mental health leads in schools. With the announcement of the mental health lead role from the Department of Education, Richard developed training for mental health leads. 

Our training is accredited by Open Awards, we are also featured in the Department for Education’s list of accredited organisations to deliver mental health lead training under our parent company The Root Of It.
