Be Well Gloucestershire is a year-long local campaign to help when stress, anxiety, isolation and other challenges become hard to deal with. We want to encourage anyone who is having a hard time in the county to access the support that is available and break the social stigma attached to mental ill-health.

This site is the start of what will be a central hub for anyone who needs help or support for themselves or a loved one. Working alongside local organisations, charities and communities, we will develop information and resources to enable more people who live in the county to talk openly about their wellbeing and access mental health and wellbeing support.

TALK MONEY WEEK: FREE TWILIGHT SESSIONS 8-12 NOVEMBER

To mark Talk Money Week (8th to 12th November) we’ve teamed up with Young Money to run a series of free online Twilight sessions on the key money and finance issues children and young people face.
 
We’ll be speaking to primary and secondary school teachers who have embedded financial education into their teaching and learning, sharing what has worked for them, things they might do differently, and some of the unexpected outcomes of financial education.
 
We’ll also hear from experts about the money-related issues of greatest concern to young people right now, from gambling and fraud to cashless society and cryptocurrency.
 
And of course we’ll discuss the importance of PSHE education – with a reminder that the ‘E’ stands for economic!
 
Find out more about the sessions we’re offering below and follow the link to register for all the sessions that are most relevant to you.

For teachers, you can read this article by Josiah Isles, an assistant headteacher who has written about his experiences within the education system as a black teacher in the UK.
 
We also have a new series of short films for teachers about being an ally to your students from black, South Asian and mixed heritage backgrounds.
 
You can also catch up on our panel discussion programme, Beyond Black History Month, in partnership with TES. This programme was originally broadcast live on 21 October 2020 and features ideas and best practice around teaching black and diverse histories and experiences.
