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.

Supporting Your Families Mental Health and Wellbeing Workshop (1.5 hour) Online
This workshop is designed to help increase your confidence, knowledge, and understanding of how to support your child or family member with their mental health and emotional regulation.
Our goal is to provide you with the tools and resources needed to better understand and support your loved ones during difficult times. We believe that through education and support, we can make a positive impact on the lives of those affected by mental health challenges.
The ‘’Supporting Your Families Mental Health and Wellbeing’’ workshops will be running every two weeks.
We want to ensure that all parents have the opportunity to participate, so we are offering two different time slots:
Monday: 11:30am-1pm
Tuesday: 6:00pm-7:30pm
