🌏This weekend marked the World Health Organisation (WHO)'s official Mental Health Awareness Day. This year the tagline is📣 "Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change" which we love. We're reflecting on how we can push ourselves and other employers and law-makers to ensure equality in the workplace and beyond.

WHO are shining a light on the importance of moving away from long-stay institutionalisation and towards high quality, community based care 👏

❤️‍🩹This Mental Health Awareness Day and onwards, WHO are moving the culture on from just listening into taking action. Working with people with lived experience of mental health conditions to create new avenues, policies and services

Meet Emma, one of our teachers at our Barrow school site. Read her journey with us below 👀

🤗"I have always felt welcomed and supported being part of the iMap team at Barrow school, the staff, students and families are all fantastic and make it feel like one big family. Being neurodivergent myself it is a pleasure to work for a company which sees the positives of autism as well as other neuro-divergences and celebrates the amazing individuals we have the pleasure to support"

"I joined iMap as a teaching assistant in September 2023; I worked across the school with a variety of students then settled into Maple class with students with limited communication through speech.
Throughout my first year I worked on my level 3 TA course funded kindly by iMap. Then in September 2024 I started covering the class teacher in a HLTA position which turned into a longer term role. At the end of July 2025, iMap supported an apprenticeship, working towards a Level 6 in SEND teaching and I have now gained QTS status.
It is a huge pleasure to be the teacher of Maple class🍁
