Forum outline
Our HIEDA ‘coffee meeting’ forums give members a chance to network, discuss topical issues and seek guidance and support. HIEDA members are invited to join this informal networking and discussion opportunity, hosted online and not recorded to engage with each other as well as HIEDA.
This term we’re joined by Lisa Thomson, Mental Health Trainer for The Charlie Waller Trust and will be discussing how we can directly support our students with nerves, stress and anxiety, particularly around exams. We’ll also discuss how the health and wellbeing centre can support colleagues across the school in signposting and offering support to students too.
The conversation can be driven by you! Lisa will be prepared to share some of the following with attendees:
- Explaining the difference between nerves, stress and anxiety
- Adjusting support by age.
Please come with questions.
