Maternity Teacher Paternity Teacher Support

The Maternity Teacher Paternity Teacher Project (known as the MTPT Project) is a charity that provides support to teachers around parental leave.

Thanks to a partnership with Generate Teaching Hub, their programmes are fully-funded for state school teachers in Halton, Warrington and Wigan.

These events are open to support staff, leaders and central Trust colleagues, not just teachers.

Group Coaching for Colleagues on Parental Leave

Fully-funded for state school teachers and created for those currently on a period of maternity, adoption or shared parental leave.

This three-month programme takes place online in small groups of 8-15 participants, and explores themes of change, identity, confidence and plans for the future.

The MTPT Project’s Parental Leave Group Coaching programme brings teachers together to share experiences, motivate yourself with personalised goals, and celebrate as you grow and flourish with your new baby.

In three 60-minute Zoom sessions, they focus on key themes including:

• Transition and Identity: who am I now?
• Limiting Beliefs: what’s holding me back?
• Empowering Visions: where do I want to go?

Dates for the Summer “Coffee” cohort are:

• Friday 19th April, 09:30-10:30
• Friday 17th May, 09:30-10:30
• Friday 14th June, 09:30-10:30
