About Me
Hi! I'm Jo Smalley.
Founder of Well Beings - SEMH Support Ltd
I provide training and advice to empower schools to confidently and effectively support the social, emotional and mental health needs of children in their setting. Schools are working hard to successfully manage mental health and emotional wellbeing while being against many pressures and tight budgets. I see my role as offering further support to schools in creating educational settings that prioritise wellbeing and nurture happy children.
I began teaching in 2003 and soon developed an interest in the psychology of how children learn, and therefore what helped or hindered that experience. There were many children that I knew were facing difficult challenges outside of school and then trying to negotiate their way through a school day that they often didn't feel academically, emotionally or socially ready for. I felt that the current pressures within schools were also making it difficult for both the teachers and the pupils to have a sense of wellbeing. I left teaching to continue studying and to gain qualifications in Psychology.
I have been privileged to work with many schools and to have seen the difference that can be made to a child's emotional wellbeing and experience of school when the correct social, emotional and mental health support is in place.
Well Beings - SEMH Support was created to offer schools informative, evidence-based training and practical support in their settings so that staff feel confident in supporting vulnerable children in their school.
