Join me on a day of transformation as we explore what it means to take a whole school approach to mental health and wellbeing. I will share key learning from the last 15 years as a consultant and trainer across 100’s of schools as well as drawing on the wealth of experience in the room.
In the morning – If it’s predictable, it’s preventable
We will be re-evaluating school systems and processes, understanding how curriculum plays a significant part in prevention and the fundamentals of fostering a psychologically safe environment.
In the afternoon – Getting comfortable with discomfort
This will have a focus on signs and symptoms of key mental health difficulties for staff and pupils and the self-help strategies needed which manage discomfort and overwhelm.
