Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) has worked with MindEd to develop an engaging communications toolkit to encourage professionals to raise awareness of the MindEd elearning programme.
In the last year colleagues within health and care, education and emergency services have accessed MindEd’s resources more than 200,000 times and completed almost 80,000 hours of online learning. The programme covers key mental health issues including suicide and self-harm prevention, adverse childhood experiences and anti-bullying.
The communications toolkit has been designed to help healthcare professionals, teachers, carers, community and support workers and blue light emergency services staff to raise greater awareness of the sessions and call on more professionals to improve their knowledge and confidence in tackling mental ill health in children, young people, adults, older people and people of all ages with learning disability.
The toolkit includes the following useful promotional materials:
- Written summary of the programme
- Email signature template
- Poster
- Social media assets including animated GIFs
- Testimonials
Currently there are more than 500 modules available within the MindEd programme which feature a mix of interactive learning with videos and detailed knowledge-based sessions. They have been written by experts with the help of parents, carers and young people who have lived experience of these issues. The resources can be used for individual or classroom-based learning.
New resources on bullying and cyber bullying, eating disorders, tips for education staff mental health and wellbeing and more will be available in early 2022.
To access the toolkit and sessions, please visit the MindEd Resilience Hub.
