Our "courses" are designed to equip educators and staff with the necessary skills and knowledge to create a secure and nurturing educational environment.

In addition to statutory training, ChildWell specialises in customised workshops that address the unique needs of individual schools and institutions. These workshops cover a broad range of topics including stress management, effective communication, teamwork, leadership development, and resilience building. Our bespoke approach allows us to tailor content to the specific challenges and goals of your organisation, ensuring that both students and staff benefit from relevant, impactful training.

Our training programmes aim to enhance the overall well-being of the educational community by promoting positive interactions, emotional intelligence, and a culture of mutual respect. By focusing on both preventative measures and practical strategies, we help schools create environments where students can thrive academically and socially, and where staff feel valued and supported in their roles.

We also often training specific to the UK Study Abroad sector.

Study abroad students are ofetn challenged with different academic approaches, new language(s), navigating problematic roommate situations and being exposed to new working cultures at their internships. These factors can lead to homesickness, questions of identity and values can arise and a whole host of issues can surface including mental ill-health. We believe that challenges, and mistakes made tackling them, lead to opportunities for growth. We provide a specialist service for the Study Abroad sector.

For staff, faculty, and resident assistants we provide a range of bespoke training covering topics from Mental Health First Aid, Managing Student Expectations, Conflict Resolution to Managing Difficult Conversations.

For students we provide tailored life skill workshops that cover a broad range of topics that include Culture Shock, Emotional Intelligence, Cross Cultural Communication, Building Resilience, and Managing Anxiety . These workshops and training sessions take place in person and if required, online. Dependent on the topic these all-training sessions are aimed to be delivered in 90 mins, half day, and/or 1-day full day slots.

Delivered by our Mental Health and Wellbeing specialist, Mona Patel, who has over 15 years of experience in the study abroad sector. Clients include Boston University, Wake Forest University and The Institute of Ismaili Studies.

Natalie Morris, London Director, EUSA

"Mona's workshop on mental health for study abroad students was exceptionally insightful and practical. With her extensive background in the study abroad sector, she addressed all our questions comprehensively and effectively. It was a truly valuable experience".

Soroush Khadem - Facilities & ESG Manager at AES

"I attended the 'Difficult Conversations Workshop' with Mona earlier this year and I came away with a lot of practical tips as well as being given the opportunity to see scenarios from different perspectives. She was also able to speak from a unique standpoint having a US study abroad professional background, which was so useful as this is the area that I work in, and it can be tricky finding courses tailored to this sector. Mona creates a supportive and open space for attendees to feel comfortable having discussions about, sometimes, difficult and sensitive topics. I really enjoyed Mona's session, she comes highly recommended, and I look forward to attending more in the future"

Kate Atwell - New York University and Association of Study Abroad Programmes (AASAP/UK)

"Childwell's Mental Health First Aid workshop was an incredibly valuable experience for our overseas study abroad faculty and staff. Mona successfully balanced important content with interactive activities, ensuring that everyone was engaged and actively participating. Her expertise and approachable demeanor made challenging topics understandable and relatable. By the end of the workshop, we felt well-equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to support ourselves and others in the study abroad context. I would recommend this workshop to faculty, staff and administrators in the study abroad/international education space".
