Solent University Online Events: Let’s Talk Mental Health Series - Professionals (7th February 2022, 16:00-17:30), Parents/Carers (7th February 2022, 18:00-19:30) and Learners (7th February 2022, 18:00-19:30)
In recognition of Children’s Mental Health Week (7-13 February 2022), Solent University has teamed up with Solent Minds to offer a series of free mental health workshops to support young people (year 10 upwards), their parents and carers and the education practitioners that engage with them on a day-to-day basis.
Each of the three 90-minute sessions will include information, tools and strategies to help identify potential health issues, guidance on where to get advice and support and approaches to looking after your own mental health and wellbeing.
We'll also be giving attendees the opportunity to put their questions to a specialist panel of mental health and student support professionals.
