Education & Partnerships
The He-Ro Project works with schools, organisations and community partners to support mental skills development, wellbeing and sustainable performance.
Our approach is proactive, practical and grounded in sport psychology principles — helping people develop the skills they need before pressure becomes a problem.
Who we work with
We work in partnership with:
primary and secondary schools
colleges and education providers
sports clubs and academies
community organisations
workplaces and performance-focused teams
Our work can support both individuals and collectives, depending on context and need.
What this work can include
Education and partnership work may involve:
workshops for students, athletes or staff
mental skills education embedded into existing programmes
support around exam pressure, performance anxiety and confidence
wellbeing and mental fitness input for staff teams
applied work on identity, culture and group cohesion
Delivery can be one-off, short-term or ongoing, and tailored to the setting.
How we work
We focus on:
practical tools, not jargon
skills that can be applied immediately
creating psychologically safe learning environments
working collaboratively with existing staff and structures
Our aim is not to add pressure or unrealistic expectations, but to support healthier, more effective ways of coping, learning and performing.
A values-led approach
All Education & Partnership work aligns with The He-Ro Project’s core values:
accessibility
inclusion
sustainability
wellbeing alongside performance
Where possible, work is delivered in line with our donation-based ethos, helping reduce barriers to access and supporting wider community impact.
If you’re exploring ways to support wellbeing, mental skills or performance within your school, organisation or community, we’d welcome a conversation.
