Stormbreak SURGE is a school staff advocate training programme to make movement simple, inclusive and accessible and equip staff with the delivery confidence to incorporate mentally healthy movement strategies into the daily life of the whole school. It removes barriers to participation and enhances perceptions of the worth of movement in schools for teachers, staff and children, through the delivery of purposeful and intentional movement that is focussed on mental health and establishment of an effective whole school empowering environment. The Stormbreak SURGE programme leads a school community through the principles and practicalities of embedding stormbreak to ensure long lasting, impactful and sustainable change.
