Description

The impact of not addressing mental health issues in adolescence carries on into adulthood, affecting both physical and mental health and limiting opportunities for those affected to lead fulfilling lives as adults.

The mental of health of adolescents is worsened by a virtual pressure to ‘fit-in’, with teens spending more time than ever on the internet. In doing so they are more exposed to harmful content, increasing anxiety as well as an increased risk of being groomed and exploited.

This one-day event will provide delegates with the methods and strategies needed to manage and support vulnerable students. In addition to a variety of networking opportunities, attendees will also get to attend a variety of keynotes and workshops on current challenges such as mental health as well as emerging threats including county lines. The aim of the event is to ensure every path is covered when safeguarding the most vulnerable students.

Delegates may expect in-depth keynotes with leading experts and a choice of workshops including:
• mental health: effective and innovative ways to support teenagers with mental health problems
• social media: improve understanding of social media trends and be one step ahead of students
• county lines: learn the signs that a student may be caught up in county line activity, and keep the school safe
• risky behaviour: understand the psychology behind engaging in risky behaviours and how it can be prevented.
