  • The Founder

    Meet Steve Waters

    My personal wellbeing journey

    "I have over 36 years' service in education and 15 years running my own businesses. I loved teaching but I experienced first-hand the stress of the workload, high expectations, Ofsted, and parental pressure.

    "From the age of 14, I had episodes of depression and was signed off from work several times for 6 weeks. In 2008, while working as an advisor for a Local Authority, I had a complete breakdown and spent 3 months in hospital. During that time, I was diagnosed with Bipolar Type 2. After a number of trials of medication, I found a combination that worked and it has become part of my daily routine. I have fortunately been well since.

    "I use what I have learnt from my personal experience to help schools build cultures of staff wellbeing. In 2021, I founded Teach Well Toolkit. I work alongside school leaders to deliver practical training, meaningful wellbeing strategies, and sustainable improvements that make a real difference across whole-school communities."
