Improving Staff Wellbeing by Dr Gillian Shotton

This session is aimed at staff and helping them with their emotional wellbeing. The principle is that in order to help pupils to become more emotionally healthy we first need to look after ourselves. The analogy of putting on your own oxygen mask before helping the child next to you is key here.

 

Many of the ideas contained within the session will also be relevant and useful in thinking about the pupils and ways to help them, but the primary focus is to support staff. Delivered by Gillian Shotton, a highly experienced Educational Psychologist. She has written a number of books and journal articles. Most recently published is the second edition of 'Emotional Well-being, an introductory handbook for schools.
