To support EML Group customers in the Education sector, we have designed and launched two tailored mental health tools.
Developed in consultation with transformative culture experts Lysander, these tools respond to the real pressures facing the sector, including burnout, bullying, vicarious trauma, and cultural fatigue.
Suitable for early childhood, primary, secondary, and higher education, the Healthy minds, thriving educators tools provide practical, easy-to-use support to help reduce psychosocial risks and the impact of psychological injury.
