Dear Parents/ Carers,
We are all aware from our work in schools, as parents and through regular reports across the media, there is a growing need to support young people’s mental health. As part of Equa’s ongoing commitment to wellbeing and following on from the e-safety workshop earlier in the year, All Cannings Primary School will be hosting a workshop for parents of children across Equa Multi Academy Trust on the subject of children’s mental health with a particular focus on stress and anxiety. This will be held on Wednesday 28th June, 6.15pm-8.00pm.
The workshop will be led by Ollie Welsby, the lead consultant at Brightcore Consultancy. He has many years of experience working in schools, MATs and local authorities in the field of mental health and safeguarding. He is highly experienced and regularly speaks at sector conferences. He is known for his dynamic, authentic and non-judgmental approach.
The session will focus on understanding many of the causes of anxiety in young people and in particular the relationship between stress and anxiety. A range of stress management techniques and practical strategies will be highlighted, which can be used to support young people in dealing with their anxiety and reducing its effects on themselves and others. At the end of the session there will be the opportunity for you to ask questions.
The format of the evening will be as follows:
