Hosted by the esteemed Dr Pooky Knightsmith in partnership with Charlie Waller Memorial Trust, this half-day practical training session is designed to help you build resilience and support emotional wellbeing amongst your pupils.

Why is this conference relevant?

By the age of 14 strong evidence suggests that 50% of lifetime mental illnesses have already started*.

Early identification and support are crucial but children and young people’s mental health services remain inconsistent and overstretched.

In light of this, we at Optimus Education are delighted to bring you our 2016 Mental Health Roadshow. In partnership with The Charlie Waller Memorial Trust, this practical training session will show you how to build resilience and support emotional wellbeing amongst students.

*As reported in The Guardian – April 2015
