249: A whole-school mental health platform with STEER Education
Simon Antwis is Senior Education Consultant at STEER Education. He has been a headteacher of three schools and a school inspector.
STEER Education is a whole-school mental health platform that empowers teachers to measure, track and improve the self regulation and mental wellbeing of young people.
It supports being proactive in safeguarding young people’s mental health.
STEER Education exists to prepare young people with the human skills they need to thrive in life.
Research shows that self-regulation is a critical skill that young people need for that journey. STEER’S mission is to safeguard the mental health of the young people by teaching them to self-regulate. They do that by serving families, schools and young people themselves.
STEER provides schools with a standardised, data-driven, impact-focused approach to measure, track, and improve social-emotional health across their schools, and demonstrate a high level of proactive safeguarding.
Their tools track how every young person steers four factors of self-regulation: their self-disclosure, trust of themself, trust of others, and seeking change.
STEER schools track their young people 3 times a year, year on year, from 8 to 18, providing early mental health risk flags, and personalised action plans to guide teachers’ response. We even provide practical guidance for children’s families.

248: The importance of sleep with Cambridge Sleep Coach
Edward is a secondary school science teacher who out of nowhere developed insomnia. This happened for roughly 6 months and was an extremely stressful and tough period to go through.
However he managed to fully get over his insomnia and return to being a normal sleeper. As a result he created a website to offer support to others suffering from insomnia.
This website also aims to help the wider population to sleep better and to get the best nights sleep possible. This is especially important for teachers who have stressful days and need to arrive feeling fresh everyday.
Ed offers two different services. Firstly he helps individuals improve their sleep to benefit their health, performance and wellbeing. Secondly if you are suffering from insomnia, he offers therapy to help you get out of that vicious cycle that is insomnia.
Everyone deserves and can get a good nights sleep. Listen to find out more.

247: Energy Reboot with Moira Newiss
Moira is a Registered Nutritional Therapist and Wellbeing Coach who specialises in helping men and women with or without a diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome or long covid to regain their energy through a combination of nutrition and other lifestyle changes. Chronic fatigue is not for life, you can fully recover. Moira can support you to understand what has gone wrong with your energy production and how to reboot it to get your energy back and your life on track again.
As educators we need to support ourselves in all areas of our lives so we can show up in the best possible health for our pupils.
Moira uses a food first approach to make sure you are nourishing your body as much as possible through your diet, adding in nutritional supplements if needed. She can support you to make changes in other aspects of your life such as sleep, stress, time spent outdoors, chemicals you might be exposed to as well as supporting relaxation and joy in your life. She finds this holistic approach provides the best results as we layer up small changes until you get a significant change in how you feel.
