The Mix Connect is a lifeline tool for both staff and students, offering built-in solutions to the different issues young people may be facing. It can be embedded on school websites, intranets, or learning platforms and allow students to access wellbeing and mental health support quickly through their school.
It offers access to free and anonymous information using a quick, simple search function that will give access to:
- Over 2,000 pages of advice and information on everything from bullying and depression to self-harm and exam stress
- Topic-specific online and on-the-ground support services
- Access to our online community to connect with you, our amazing community.

The suggestion box is a great one, do you think this should be a physical box or could it be digital version work? Should it be both?
The student's data will be anonymised unless a student put in data that means they can be identified. We just ask for their school, year group and location (so we can suggest local support. It doesn't have to be their home address, it can just be a location near by)
One of key parts of this offer to school is the toolkit we are looking to put together for students. That's why it would be great to keep getting your thoughts and suggestions.
Thanks.
