Training &
Capacity
Building
When everyone in a school community has the knowledge and skills to recognise and respond to mental health needs, outcomes improve dramatically. TREC delivers practical, expert-facilitated training for teachers, leaders, counsellors, parents, and students.
Building a Whole-School Mental Health Workforce
A well-trained school community doesn't just refer students to the counsellor — it actively supports wellbeing at every level. TREC's training programmes build the mental health literacy, early identification skills, and evidence-based response capacity of every stakeholder group.
Our training is interactive, evidence-based, and practically focused — combining theory with real-world scenarios, case studies, and role-play to build confidence alongside competence.
Mental Health in the Classroom
Recognising distress, trauma-informed responses, and when and how to refer students for professional support.
Leading Wellbeing Strategically
Embedding wellbeing into school culture, governance, policy, and whole-school strategy from the top.
Advanced Counselling Skills
Deepening clinical skills in assessment, therapeutic modalities, ethics, documentation, and supervision.
Parenting for Wellbeing
How to talk about mental health at home, spot early warning signs, and support a child's emotional development.
Whole-School Uplift
Every staff member becomes a first line of support — dramatically expanding the school's wellbeing reach.
Practical, Not Just Theoretical
Every session is grounded in real scenarios your staff will encounter — building skills they can use from day one.
Earlier Identification
Trained staff spot mental health struggles earlier — reducing escalation and enabling faster, more effective support.
Builds Institutional Confidence
A trained school community is more confident in handling mental health disclosures, crises, and ongoing support needs.
Our Training Process
Training Needs Analysis
We begin by understanding who needs training, what gaps exist, what outcomes your school wants, and any specific challenges or contexts that should shape the programme design.
Programme Design & Customisation
We design a bespoke training programme — selecting the right modules, format (workshop, webinar, coaching), duration, and sequencing — and share the plan for leadership approval before delivery begins.
Training Delivery
Our expert facilitators deliver engaging, interactive sessions using a mix of presentations, video, group activities, case studies, reflective exercises, and practical skills practice in a psychologically safe environment.
Resource Handover
Participants receive a full resource pack — including session notes, reference guides, practical tools, and recommended further reading — to reinforce their learning after the training.
Follow-Up & Impact Evaluation
We conduct a post-training evaluation survey and, where agreed, follow-up observation or coaching to ensure skills are being applied and outcomes are being achieved in practice.
