DESCRIPTION:This one day conference brings together high-profile experts from various disciplines and young people who have experienced mental health problems themselves to offer the latest evidence-based advice on how to address mental health in schools\, and the best methods to achieve this. Given the vast number of policy initiatives and programmes being developed for use in schools\, it is critical that schools know what they should be doing on the basis of the research evidence and where funding should be directed.

These uncertain times are linked to a number of interconnected factors that affect all our lives in the 21st century including the growth in (and fear of) terrorism and other unprovoked attacks against civilians\, an increase in the number of refugees and asylum seekers fleeing countries that are ravaged by war\, huge economic global inequalities between countries leading to increased migration. The level of global uncertainty makes us all feel vulnerable especially children and young people and can have a dramatic impact upon their education\, metal health and well-being. There are also huge challenges for public services to respond effectively to the increasingly complex demands that they all face. \nEminent keynote speakers will address the key theme of the conference drawing on their own research and practice. In addition there will be paper presentations\, workshops\, symposia and round tables discussions that will enable participants to share their knowledge and expertise and learn from each other. \nTopics addressed during the conference will include: – \n\nWorking with children who experience mental health issues\nSupporting schools\, families and children in times of crisis\nDeveloping strategies to support children with learning difficulties\nHelping schools to become safe and effective learning environments\nPromoting inclusivity in diverse communities\nTraining psychologists and other professionals to become effective practitioners.\n\nKeynote Speakers:\nProfessor Neil Humphrey \nProfessor Shane R.
