Well-being and mental health are the essential foundations to help children to flourish and reach their potential. Now, with the added challenges that children have faced over the last number of years, it is more important than ever for us to nurture their well-being and mental health and put it at the heart of our teaching.
This webinar will outline many practical ways for teachers to do this in day-to day classroom life. A combination of support and skills is essential, with an emphasis on building positive relationships, supporting emotional regulation and enhancing positivity.
For teachers (primary & post-primary)
