Statistics show that around 1 in 4 people in any given year experience mental health conditions. SAS are proactively supporting schools with this, carrying out on average over 240 sessions of counselling per week.
Our research informs us that stress accounts for approximately 31% of absence within Schools/Academies. Stress related absences are also expected to increase over 20% through 2022. We are doing everything we can do to improve this statistic. SAS offer confidential, individual therapy sessions to named staff which are delivered safely and appropriately and available whether your staff are still working in school or absent through illness. The need for therapy does not need to be work related.
SAS offer a range of mindfulness support. Our Mindfulness Support includes:
- One to One Therapy – identify and implementing the most appropriate support
- Guided Relaxation Sessions – a session to promote relaxation
- Mastering Mindfulness – A 4-week interactive, online course created and hosted by our Mindfulness Teacher, June Brade, to help you build resilience and manage stress and anxiety. Click here to sign up to the next available course.

Counselling Support
Our research shows that stress accounts for over a third of absences within schools and academies. We are doing everything we can to reduce this figure.
SAS offer unlimited, private and confidential therapy sessions with BACP-accredited counsellors for named staff. These phoned based sessions are available whether your staff are still working or absent due to illness. The reason for counselling does not need to be work-related, and no GP referral is needed.
