Waltham Forest Public Health team are offering Building the Resilience of Pupils workshop. 

This is a valuable workshop designed to support school staff in building resilience in the children they work with. 

The training will support educational staff to be able to recognise and sign post more effectively as well as being able to support children generally in relation to their emotional wellbeing (building resilience), therefore also giving confidence and language to what staff may already be doing to promote children’s mental health. 

Training will take place from 9:30 - 16:00 at Walthamstow Town Hall
