Supporting children with their Emotional Health and Wellbeing needs to be embedded within the culture and ethos of your school and needs to be made a priority in order to be impactful.

On this course, you will gain an understanding of:
* How children’s brains develop and how life experiences will have shaped these by the time they reach secondary school
* Adverse childhood experiences and why although they need recognising, they do not define our children.
* How to identify children who are experiencing emotional health issues and what response to undertake
* How to recognise and deal with a range of situations which may arise- both proactively and reactively
* Strategies and tips for supporting children with their emotional health and wellbeing
* How to develop emotional resilience within their setting and how to embed this into the culture of your school.
* Ways in which you can inform and involve parents to assist in supporting children.

This course will also provide an opportunity for delegates to share best practice and strategies they may have in place which have proved effective.
