1. Study Title: Teachers mental health, help-seeking and the facilitation of help-seeking for young people.


We are conducting a short-survey as part of a research project to try and understand mental health and well-being from the perspective of those that work in schools.  As teaching staff you are in the ideal position to give us valuable first-hand information from your own perspective.  The data collected from the study is to be used for a research project at the University of Birmingham and it is hoped that through contributing to this research we can more accurately understand how to support and improve aspects of mental health and wellbeing in the educational sector and disseminate findings widely on local websites and in appropriate journals.
 
The survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete, most questions are multiple choice questions and there are no ‘right or wrong’ answers.
