Increasing demands on teachers.
Mental health and behaviour are central concerns in education today. From anxiety and emotional dysregulation to trauma and neurodiversity, staff are increasingly called upon to support students — and each other — in ways that go far beyond traditional teaching.
Evidence-based and Empowering.
At APT, we provide mental health training for professionals who work directly with young people. Our courses are practical, evidence-based, and delivered by experienced mental health professionals. Whether you’re looking to increase awareness, manage risk, or build a psychologically informed environment, our training is designed to empower teachers and support student wellbeing.
Trusted training.
APT is trusted by education, health and wellbeing services, including university counselling services. All our courses are designed by mental health professionals, taught by expert tutors, and grounded in psychological evidence and practical experience.
A radical new approach.
Whenever possible the courses here are the authentic APT courses on the subject, not a diluted ‘school version’. And the relevance is ensured by the tutor being highly skilled and experienced in working with children or in schools or both.
The Association for Psychological Therapies (APT) provides the following training that is relevant to teachers, schools, and education.
A 3-hour, specially recorded course
Helps staff understand the impact of trauma on learning and behaviour, and create environments where pupils feel safe, respected and ready to engage.

A live (or specially recorded) 3-day course
For professionals working with young people who have been through experiences which are by any standards 'damaging'.
Adverse childhood experiences may result in changes in the deepest parts of the brain, resulting in effects which are behavioural, cognitive, biological, social and emotional. Examples include: aggressive behaviour, withdrawal, poor self esteem, hostility to others, lack of interest in activities, disturbed sleep and appetite, sadness, anxiety or anger problems, and poor relationships.
A live 3-day course
Practical psychosocial interventions to help people with ADHD, and those around them.
ADHD has often been thought of as a condition of childhood, but its effects may continue through adolescence, adulthood and later life. While hyperactivity may become less obvious with age, difficulties with attention, organisation, impulsivity, motivation and emotional regulation may remain highly significant. Many adults with ADHD were never recognised when they were younger.
This course takes a practical and balanced view of ADHD across the lifespan, helping you understand how ADHD affects the person’s life, relationships and everyday functioning at different ages. Its focus is on effective biopsychosocial interventions that help people with ADHD — and those around them — function better, suffer less and build more rewarding lives.
Yes – all our courses can be delivered online or face-to-face for whole teams. Many courses are also available online for individuals to attend (live or on-demand).
We’d love to talk about your needs and how we can help. Whether you’re planning training for a whole-school team, a small pastoral group, or a college counselling service, we’re here to help.
