SEMH Conference - Friday 29 November - Helping you achieve effective, positive transition for pupils across all phases’
This conference is open to all school staff who have a responsibility around SEMH across all phases from Early Years to Post 16 studies (including Heads of Year, SENCos, Learning Mentors, PSHE Co-Ordinators, Support Staff, Senior Leaders and Governors.)
The day will feature case studies from schools, resource packs of ideas and networking opportunities between schools, creating more opportunities to work together.
Statistically, 1 in 4 of us will experience a mental health problem in any given year. There are many transitional stages in life. Whether transitioning year groups, the transition from primary to secondary or even the dramatic transitions their bodies go through during puberty. Transition can cause great anxiety; the way that key transitional stages are dealt with in school can dramatically effect pupils' mental health and ability to engage with school life.
This conference will help you to support children and young people in your school or setting through the various times of transition to ensure that they have the right tools to cope, succeed and thrive personally and academically.
Jennifer Taylor, the Head of Children and Young People at Time to Change, will be the keynote speaker.
Time to Change is a growing social movement working to change the way we all think and act about mental health problems.
They have already reached millions of people and begun to improve attitudes and behaviour.
Jennifer will be discussing the excellent work Time to Change has done to aid key transitional stages within schools.
As many primary school children have been visiting high schools recently with the application deadline looming, many families are visiting primaries for their child's first transition into school and our young people are visiting various settings to consider the next stages of their Post 16 lives, it is a perfect time of year to plan ahead in order to aid children and young people's Emotional and Mental Health needs during these important transitions.
With this type of transition in mined, Paul Cooper, Headteacher of Bishop Young Academy and Sam Eustace, Emotional Health and Wellbeing Leader at Westerton Primary Academy, will both be presenting some of the brilliant work that they do to aid key transitions in their respective schools, building resilience to change.
Other workshops on the day will include:
MST - Transition and the Developing Brain
STARS - Preparing Autistic Students for the Transition into Adulthood
Rethink Team - Supporting Transition with the Rethink Formulation
