Promoting positive mental health
The first of its kind in Ireland, the School Portal from us here in Walk in My Shoes (WIMS) is a free, secure, online platform for teachers, principals and school staff to showcase the mental health and wellbeing activities and resources that their schools are promoting in their classrooms and communities.
The portal aims to be a one-stop-shop for teachers and school staff to support, inspire and collaborate with their colleagues in other schools in their efforts to promote and encourage mental health and wellbeing.
Already, we have close to 500 school staff registered to the portal and hundreds of resources available.
Resources on the School Portal can be filtered by school, class level, and topic, meaning that teachers can find and develop projects that will best suit their students’ needs. Using the portal will also allow schools to enter our Mission Possible school achievement awards, which acknowledge and recognise the work being done by schools each year to promote positive mental health.
If you’ve any questions about registering or using the School Portal, please contact our WIMS team by emailing info@walkinmyshoes.ie.
