ESMS Wellbeing Conference

A Day Conference designed for anyone who works with young people, aged 4-18, from across Scotland.

A positive, forward-looking event with a range of opportunities to discuss and reflect on the wellbeing challenges facing young people today, and how we can best support them and look after ourselves too. There will be seminars on diagnosis dilemma (with a focus on neurodivergence), communicating with families and a range of workshops led by young people, as well as stalls and opportunities for networking with like-minded people from across Scotland.

The 2 keynote speakers for the day are:

• Professor Daryl O’Connor (University of Leeds). Stress: The Quiet Killer. Daryl is a registered health psychologist and professor of psychology. He will be talking about the psychological and physical effects of stress and what we can do to help ourselves and others in our care.
• Dr Kevin Shattock (Grammar School at Leeds). Boys’ Wellbeing. Kevin is head of athletic development at GSAL and completed his doctorate in biopsychosocial approaches to coaching. He will be talking about how we can assist boys and young men to navigate the complex and multi-layered world we now live in.

Standard tickets are £20 per person and include refreshments and a buffet lunch.
