Conference Description

Date: Thu 20/11/2008

Location - Birmingham

In an average secondary school with 1000 students, 100 students will suffer from a mental health problem. This would normally include 50 students suffering from depression, 10 students tackling an eating disorder, 20 students coping with obsessive compulsive disorder and in addition 100 students will have self harmed before the age of 16. In 2005 Ofsted reported that most secondary schools are failing these students.

Under identification of students with mental health difficulties is a major problem in secondary schools. The Promoting Mental Health in Schools conference is specifically designed to provide you with the tools to recognise students with a mental health difficulty, provide them with the right level of support, and raise awareness of mental health difficulties throughout your school.

Our expert speakers will help you to:

• Discover the latest developments in thenational plans for mental health.
• Gain strategies for identifying children suffering from mental health difficulties.
• Take away practical advice for supporting students with a mental health problem.
• Raise awareness of mental health problems throughout your school to create an inclusive environment.
• Use SEAL to promote emotionalwellbeing and a culture of respect.

...and a great deal more.
