Schools are on the frontline of children's emotional wellbeing. But without the right training, even the most dedicated staff can feel overwhelmed by the complexity of today's challenges.
Our training programmes equip your team with practical, research-backed strategies to:
🧩 Understand the neuroscience behind behaviour;
🧩 Respond to emotional dysregulation with empathy and boundaries;
🧩 Create a restorative, trauma-informed school culture;
🧩 Support neurodivergent learners effectively.
At The Feelings Teacher, we take a holistic approach to working with children, young people, families, and school staff. We believe in supporting not just the child, but the entire ‘team around the child’ — including parents, carers, extended family members, SENDCOs, teachers, and support staff.
Therefore, our mission is to empower every individual with a deeper understanding of how the brain and emotions influence behaviour — and how this awareness can lead to more compassionate and effective responses to emotional challenges.
Such as equipping professionals with practical tools to understand and respond to emotional and behavioural needs.
Namely, providing guidance and strategies to strengthen relationships and promote emotional wellbeing at home.
In particular, we train selected groups of children or young people to support conflict resolution and help reduce bullying within your school community.
Delivery options: Half-day or full-day workshops | Twilight sessions for staff | Parent workshops | Ongoing consultancy and implementation support.
All training is tailored to your school's specific needs and challenges.
