In today’s fast-paced world, the mental health of students has become an increasingly important concern for educators.

As teachers, you play a pivotal role in shaping not only the academic success of your students but also their overall wellbeing. Creating a classroom environment where students feel safe, supported, and understood is essential for fostering their mental and emotional growth.

This webinar will help you navigate the complexities of student mental health, offering practical strategies to promote wellbeing and open conversations about mental health in your classroom.

Whether you’re looking to enhance your existing approach or just beginning to explore this critical aspect of teaching, you’ll find resources and insights here to guide you.

Therefore, it was a real pleasure to have Conor Warren deliver a webinar for teachers on how they can support their student’s mental health. During the webinar, Conor looks at these questions and provides a clear insight into what we can do to spark the conversation about mental health in schools.

• How can we support young people with their mental health? 
• How can we empower young people to look after themselves? 
• How can we be positive role models for young people?
