FREE Webinar: Prioritising Mental Health and Wellbeing in Schools

On Saturday, 13th April 2024, Shielded Space hosted a FREE live Zoom webinar titled "Prioritising Mental Health and Wellbeing in Schools." This virtual event was hosted in honour of April being Stress Awareness Month.

It was an insightful conversation where we discussed what Mental Health and Wellbeing is, and its significance for both staff and students.

My main reason for making this particular topic a free session was to create awareness of the role of a stable mental health in students’ success and staff interaction with students. Thus, we discussed practical insights to build supportive environments, identify signs of emotional distress in students and how to intervene. My most exciting part of the webinar was when participants had to examine signs of emotional challenges in students and how early intervention plays a huge role.

I am committed to continuing these conversations and providing resources to support mental health and wellbeing in schools. Our webinar was just the beginning, and I encourage all participants to stay engaged with Shielded Space for future events and resources.

Thank you to everyone who attended the webinar and contributed to the insightful discussions.
