Biography
Anthony James qualified as an educational psychologist at The University of Sussex, before gaining extensive experience working with children, parents, school staff and a range of professionals in both public and private sectors, from rural communities to inner cities. From the start of his career, Anthony became increasingly aware of a need for support in stress management among students and school staff. He subsequently developed stress management strategies for students and courses for staff, which have been delivered widely over a period of many years.
Real Group Ltd (https://www.realgroup.co.uk/) is a training provider across the education sector. We specialise in online training for all levels within school and college systems, such as teaching assistant training in understanding emotionally connected classrooms and master’s level courses aimed at SENCo, specialist teacher or assessor qualifications. We also train staff to become senior mental health leads as well as offering NPQs for senior staff and head teachers.
This manual is an essential mental health resource for schools. It puts theory into practice and guides understanding of stress in staff and students in a straightforward manner. Exam stress is included, and the programme expands to deal with stress and anxiety in everyday situations. The lesson plan format is very clear and easy for staff to use with students.
It is highly recommended.
