Our Approach

Our approach at mdeducational foundation is to provide salary funding for a Wellbeing Lead; kickstarting the school’s long-term wellbeing strategy

mdeducational foundation provides a three-year salary-funded commitment to placing dedicated wellbeing professionals within post-16 educational settings across the UK and Ireland.

By placing Wellbeing Leads in educational establishments, we’re normalising student psychological fitness and resilience through guidance and early intervention – supporting young people with their wellbeing needs through education and beyond.

With a clear lack of research and support for students aged between 16-18, we see further education as a crucial area for improvement when it comes to supporting adolescents dealing with wellbeing challenges.

We understand the pressures young people face and the impact this can have on their lives, and we also know more can be done on a national level to support them. Our Wellbeing Leads are pioneering a future for better wellbeing for young people so they are more empowered, no matter what their challenges are.

Through educating, enlightening, and empowering, we’re on a journey to a brighter future.
