Why relationships matter 

In busy school environments, it’s easy to feel disconnected from the people we work with. Yet the quality of our relationships with our colleagues has a significant impact our mental health and wellbeing. 

This is reflected in our latest Teacher Wellbeing Index, which found that 49% of teachers and education staff say their organisation’s culture negatively affects their mental health.  

What we cover  

Charlie Burley, The Teachers Health Coach and former primary school teacher, explores how small, everyday actions can create a greater sense of belonging in education settings. 

Chaired by Emily Kenneally from Education Support, we cover: 

• Building a culture of care  
• Fostering connection and belonging  
• Showing gratitude  
• Setting clear boundaries  
• Dealing the differences
