Mental health amongst school staff in the UK is a growing concern, with recent statistics showing that 64% of teachers and support staff say that their school does not have effective measures in place to monitor and manage stress and burnout.
SAS actively supports schools by providing extensive mental health services and resources for staff, all aimed at helping your school prevent and reduce absences. Whether you’re seeking support for stress, anxiety, depression, or other mental health challenges, our goal is to help you access the resources you need to lead a healthy, balanced life.
Educational Leaders also face high expectations, heavy workloads and emotional demands, which is why we provide critical incident support for school leaders. SAS are there to support you when you’re feeling completely overwhelmed with the pressure and demands of your role.
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.
To speak with our counselling support service, please call 01773 814402. Be sure to have your school postcode or school/trust name ready when we call.
