Overview

Emotion Coaching has been found to help children regulate, improve and take ownership of their behaviour as well as better understand their emotions. Emotion Coaching also helps practitioners to be more sensitive to the needs of children, create more consistent ‘responses’ to behaviour, feel more ‘in control’ during incidents, and promotes positive relationships between adults and children.

Wellbeing for Education Return

Wellbeing for Education Return

The aim of these two webinars are to provide tools to enable education staff to protect and strengthen their Whole School/College’s resilience to the wellbeing and mental health impacts of Covid-19.

Education staff play a vital role in support children and young people’s wellbeing and mental health. By helping children and young people acknowledge, understand and process how they feel, education staff can help prevent normal emotions from developing into more entrenched mental health issues. Through identifying warning signs early, they can also help ensure children and young people get the right support.

All key messages from this training are applicable for everyone in the school/college community, including pupils, staff and parents/carers. The key messages are also transposable to on-line remote working in the event of further lockdowns.
