Well-Edu

Who We Are

Well-Edu launched in 2023 in response to the growing mental health crisis and socio-economic differences in wellbeing and achievement for the young people in our community.  

We work in partnership with families, professionals in education and qualified therapeutic practitioners to provide access to training and support for adults, and services and opportunities for our young people - the future adults of tomorrow.

Our non-profit might seem like the new kid on the block, but our shared goals go back as far as 2010. As individuals, we have developed our expertise in this field and personally provided free and discounted services to disadvantaged young people in our area. Together, we are on a mission to multiply our impact to bring about positive and lasting change.

Why We Do It

At Well-Edu, we are committed to making a significant impact on the delivery and availability of high quality learning and mental health services for children to thrive both academically and emotionally, particularly for those most disadvantaged.

Our passionate team believes in the power of 'the adult in the room' and the wider impact that our education system, community and access to opportunities has on our young people and their ability to reach their full potential.  This is particularly relevant in 2024 as our communities tackle both the cost of living and mental health crisis nationwide.

What We Do

Since our launch in January 2024, our team have been busy behind the scenes putting together services to achieve our mission and meet the needs of schools, young people and our community.

We offer:

• Peer mentorship projects to support personal development and individual achievement throughout learning, life and future employment.
• Specialised training to improve whole-school wellbeing, from the classroom to the staffroom. This includes Mental Health First Aider training to assist both adults and children in your setting.
• An online platform for adults in education with benefits including; access to live events with our experts in both education and wellbeing strategies, training to support positive mental health strategies for themselves and their students, and a growing library of videos and resources.

As a social enterprise, any profit that Well-Edu makes through trading goes straight back into funding our charitable work, including access to therapeutic and learning support for vulnerable children and the adults around them.
