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)
