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.
