It’s all in the mind.
The project will work with a number of European partners to establish the training and support needs of
training/teaching staff. This is to ensure that they are better able to work with, and support, learners experiencing
mental health problems. The aim of this is to allow people with mental health problems to access mainstream learning
as opposed to learning within dedicated or specialist environments.
The project will define the term mental health disability for the purposes of this project and will identify the scope of
disabilities which can be included for any training materials produced to support training staff. A literature review will
be conducted by each participating organisation to establish the current strategy for supporting learners with mental
health disabilities and to establish to what extent teaching staff are trained and supported. Furthermore, teaching
methodologies will be explored together with identification and sharing of good practise.
