When Every Behaviour Tells A Story: Practical strategies to support pupils with increasing mental health needs

Schools are seeing unprecedented levels of anxiety, emotional dysregulation, school avoidance and behaviour linked to unmet mental health needs. Teachers are often the first to notice when something isn’t right, but many feel underprepared to respond confidently while balancing the demands of teaching.

This engaging and practical seminar will equip school staff with simple, evidence-informed strategies to recognise early signs of distress, respond with confidence and create emotionally safe learning environments where pupils can thrive. Learn how small changes in everyday practice can have a significant impact on behaviour, attendance, wellbeing and learning.

You’ll leave with a greater confidence in responding to students experiencing emotional distress, practical classroom strategies that support emotional regulation and resilience.  As well as tools to understand the link between behaviour and wellbeing and a clearer understanding of how to support pupils while working within your professional role.
