Claire Malengret is the headspace Principal Coaching and Support Service Manager who travels across Queensland working with school leaders, specifically supporting their mental health and wellbeing in order to help them recover and thrive after a critical incident. Claire is a qualified teacher, counsellor and mediator with over 15 years’ experience working in the education sector. “Wellbeing starts at the top – practical strategies for leadership”Over the next decade mental health, resilience, and emotional intelligence will be considered the most critical qualities of an enduring, effective and high performing school leader. headspace recognises that the mental health of whole school communities starts with the mental health and wellbeing of the Head of School and/or Principal. While managing the intensifying demands and pressures school leaders may experience—as well as the impact of social change and the increase in mental health issues of staff and students—the emotional impact of critical incidents on the school community and leader can be devastating. Even the most experienced and ‘resilient’ of Principals are susceptible to stress, burnout, and mental health concerns following a traumatic event in their school community. However, due to their hierarchical position and role complexity, Principals appear to be least likely to become involved in help-seeking behaviours even if it is at the expense of their own physical health and wellbeing. The headspace Principal Coaching and Support Service has supported Queensland school leaders since July 2017 through the provision of individual one-to-one coaching sessions following a critical incident in their school community. The implementation of this innovative service has highlighted the critical need for school leaders to prioritise their mental health and wellbeing. This presentation is aimed to give school Heads and Principals preventative, proactive, and practical strategies in maintaining their self-care and managing the impact of stress.
