In today's modern classroom, teachers face a barrage of challenges—from time constraints to budget limitations and resource shortages. Every day becomes a delicate balancing act, with never enough time, budget, staff, CPD, or support to go around.

Through conversations with educators across Scotland, one resounding gap emerged: the need for subject matter experts right within the school, not just confined to head offices.

Specifically, 48% of the teachers we spoke to said, when it comes to mental health, the expert should be in the room while 50% said practitioners should be resourced to deliver material themselves.  Our digital resources cover both of these demands – bring the expert into your classroom to help you deliver to your classroom.  

Drawing insights from these discussions and our further discussions with pupils (you can see some of the amazing feedback we got from pupils on this page), we proudly present "It’s a Mental Health Thing" (IAMHT)—your comprehensive solution to all secondary school mental health needs.
