Wellbeing In-House vs Outsourced: Why Expertise Matters

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of The Green Heart Wellbeing Podcast: Life After Teaching, I explore an important question in education today: should wellbeing be developed in-house, or supported by specialist expertise?Wellbeing has become a familiar word in schools, but effective wellbeing is more than good intentions, theme weeks, or one-off sessions. I reflect on what meaningful wellbeing practice actually involves, why it deserves the same level of care and expertise as other specialist areas, and how schools can think more intentionally about long-term impact.As always, this episode isn’t about criticism. It’s an invitation to treat wellbeing as a discipline — one that supports children, staff, and school culture in deeper, more sustainable ways.
