Developing Resilient Learners

Why is this conference relevant?

The prevalence of mental health issues among young people is reaching an alarming level, and schools across the country are struggling to offer continued, meaningful support.

Although you might not be a qualified mental health practitioner, your school can still be taking preventative measures to ensure that the young people in your care are happy, thriving and positive learners.

Optimus Education’s inaugural Developing Resilient Learners conference aims to provide you and your colleagues with the strategies to embed a school-wide culture of resilience, where resourceful learners have the skills to manage and bounce back from the challenges of today’s fast-paced world.
