Anti-racism and mental health in schools e-learning

Black and racially minoritised young people can experience racism in many areas of their lives - including at school. Experiencing racism can have significant mental health consequences for young people. 

This resource covers practical strategies for tackling racism in schools, and how to introduce a whole-school approach to anti-racism and mental health. 

The course is designed for staff to complete at their own pace but is estimated to take between 3 and 5 hours in total.
