Surrey County Council & The Lucy Rayner Foundation
Public Health is working with The Lucy Rayner Foundation and Papyrus to deliver mental health training opportunities for Surrey schools. There are two training courses available to help schools build their confidence and develop knowledge of mental health, self-harm and suicide prevention.
The training will help to provide a supportive school culture and safeguarding practices, as well as support your development of a Surrey Healthy Schools approach to wellbeing, health, inclusion and achievement.
