Mental Health Champions at Thrive
At Thrive Education Partnership, we believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. Life can be messy—we all have ups and downs—and sometimes, we just need someone to listen. That’s where our Mental Health Champions come in.
Who are they?
Mental Health Champions are trained colleagues who are here to create space for real conversations, challenge stigma, and keep mental health on the agenda for our whole community—staff, students, and families. Each academy has its own Champions, and you can find out who they on your academy’s website.

What don’t they do?
- They’re not therapists, clinicians, or counsellors
- They don’t diagnose, give advice, or provide therapy
They’re just real people, ready to listen, because we all need someone in our corner sometimes.
If you want to speak to a Champion in your school, please see the school’s Champion webpage for who they are and how to reach them.
…Because life is messy, and talking about it makes all the difference.
Meet our Mental Health Leads (MHLs)
Meet our Mental Health Leads (MHLs), who play a key role in nurturing wellbeing across our schools. They guide the vision for a whole-school approach, supporting staff and students to thrive.
Many of our MHLs are also Mental Health Champions, collaborating with the wider Champions team to share ideas, offer guidance, and celebrate the progress being made. Together, they help foster a culture where wellbeing is valued, supported, and continuously strengthened. To contact the MHL in your school, please see the school's webpage. '
