LEHSS - Making Space, Being Present, and Doing What Matters
A practical session for colleagues, based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Whether you’re in a teaching, support, or leadership role, this session aims to help you make space for what may feel challenging and move towards what matters.
Through evidence-informed strategies, we will share insights into how to respond more calmly to challenges, stay connected to what’s important, and support both yourself and those around you, even in demanding moments.
This course offers practical tools to help you:
- Respond to stress without being overwhelmed
- Stay grounded and present in the moment
- Reconnect with your values and purpose
- Support your own wellbeing while supporting others
- Build emotional resilience in everyday school life
What people have said about the course:
- Applicable and informative for staff and pupils.

- Very easy to follow, great presentation
