A personal account of the journey of gaining a National Leadership qualification in Mental health through the trials of COVID and the practicalities of the role within a busy school!
A light hearted look at staff response to mental health, the realities of the role and value it can bring to a service.
Approaches for supporting SEN children and young people to maintain good mental health.- Symon Dewsbury
During the talk, I will cover how the work of Maslow and Rogers when combined with good old fashioned behavioral observation can be used support young people’s mental health. Which, a dash of protective mental health approaches and the use of sensory processing approaches for good measure. We will look at how we can support those, who can’t access the talk-based therapies which so many people find so effective.
Trauma informed and restorative approaches in education, teenage brain development and mental wellbeing - Polly Harrow
Polly will be delivering a presentation which explores the ‘why’ of taking a trauma informed, restorative approach in education, and the potential benefits to educators and students.
Polly will use real case studies to illustrate the impact of trauma on leaning, including a section on the development of the teenage brain, and will offer practical examples of how to create a relational, inclusive teaching environment.
Get TimeFit - Work/Life Balance for Busy Teenagers - Lucy Hall
Lucy from TimeFit Tuition will outline the TimeFit approach to work/life balance for teenagers who face many demands on their time, whether from sport, performing arts, caring responsibilities or volunteering commitments. She will show how a combination of knowing how the brain works and careful planning and prioritising of workload can massively reduce the amount of time students need to spend on exam preparation. This means students can continue with the rest of the activities they love or need to do without risking burnout. Look out for some tips and tricks which can help the teachers in the room to manage their time too!

A proactive workshop developing strategies to improve wellbeing for young people. At Nudge, our interventions centre on 6 cornerstones, which supports young people in a transition back to education or the world of work, #ForALifeWorthLiving.
'Working with' not 'fighting against' wellbeing needs - Claire Cannon
Claire’s immersive workshop helps you experience the seven types of rest and gives you a chance to reflect on how your awareness of these will help translate into pupil wellbeing.
Pursuing the Power of Nature in Wellbeing - Alexandra Foster & Robert Fisher
The workshop will take you through the Japanese techniques of forest bathing, including the peer reviewed and data driven results. Learn how implementing a structured nature intervention has a wide variety of mental and physical health benefits for all ages. We will use Q&A and group discussion to work out how this would look in your setting and anticipate any barriers to use.
