MENTAL HEALTH & WELL BEING’

The sun shone for this year’s conference which brought together staff from all five special schools to learn and share together.

Keynote speaker Dr Margot Sunderland delivered a fascinating and insightful talk on trauma and its effects on brain chemistry, ways of calming troubled youngsters and therapeutic interventions in schools.

After a splendid lunch, TADSS staff members were able to unwind and enjoy a range of activities from relaxing aromatherapy, mindfulness and massage to energetic gym, dance and climbing activities.

Congratulations to the CPD committee, led by Nichola Chitson, for planning and
organising a great day.
