Challenges

We lost all our Learning Advisors

Managing MHSA in offsite venues

Volunteers withdrawing consent

Volunteers becoming unwell

Promoting courses - we'd lost momentum, marketing department restructuring

Lessons learned

The project isn't right for everyone

Eligibility and consent difficult to manage off site

Website not working for us

Some volunteers need more support to manage their schedules and break isolation

# data[].attributes.body
Challenges

Managing expectations of Year 1 partners

Embedding SmartSuvey

Recruitment - 3 courses cancelled

Losing a few SmartSurvey MHSA surveys

Not having a 'home base' for IAG interviews

Resistance to the Discovering Potential wheels

Firefighting

Lesson Learned

Essential to check SmartSurvey data after each upload

Additional support needed to manage SmartSurvey in weeks 1, 3 and 6.

Embedding SmartSurvey is a powerful way of developing resilience

Tutors need support to do less, not more

Need for double-staffing and co-planning as standard

Learning Advisor is best placed to manage absences

Publicity plan needs revisiting

Challenges

Capacity and volume of work

Supporting a tutor with a challenging group

Managing our own and other team members' wellbeing

Losing SmartSurvey data

Monitoring data

Lesson learned

The wider college could be more explicit about the impact of learning in course outlines

The scheme of work format has worked well for volunteers

Embedding SmartSurvey has given volunteers time and focus to reflect on their journey

Discrete courses are an essential first step

Addressing mental health in class is positive

Co-teaching helped tutors develop confidence

Refresh offers the opportunity to continue to build resilience and provide peer support

Clear boundaries are important - this is what I/we can/can't do

Integrating wellbeing events and mental health focussed CPD are an essential part of ensuring a non-stigmatising inclusive college

We needed more evening courses

Six 2.5 hour sessions work best. Three hour sessions are too intense.
