An Integrative Approach to Addressing Staff Wellbeing in Schools: Introducing the PERMA(H) Model with Adrienne Hornby | Episode 6

Whether staff are constantly calling in sick, struggling to bounce back post-pandemic or you are experiencing pushback on new ideas, the pressure of an increasing workload and challenging students can stop progress in its tracks.

What we need in schools is an approach that plans for and considers the multiple elements required to increase staff psychological safety.

Where to find such an approach? Well, look no further…

In episode 6 of the ‘Well-Led’ Schools podcast, you’ll learn about Positive Psychology’s PERMA(H) model of wellbeing, how it can be applied in the workplace, and ideas to try at your school that will help increase staff wellbeing across each of the PERMA(H)’s pillars of wellbeing.

In this episode, I cover:

  • An introduction to Positive Psychology and the PERMA(H) model
  • The pillars of the PERMAH model
  • How the PERMA(H) model can be applied in the workplace
  • Tips and ideas to leverage the PERMAH model in schools and in the classroom
