Yesterday we hosted our webinar "Unlocking potential: the role of mental wellbeing in school success" led by Luke Rees. 🌟 He discussed the state of children’s mental health and we heard about: 💙 Why our smiles are not always as simple as they seem  💙 The importance of a simple student "check-in" question 💙 Listening to hear vs listening to answer But as Luke shared, sitting down one-to-one isn’t always the best way to get students to open up about their mental health. And offering a diverse variety of places and opportunities for students to speak to teachers can have a massive impact on outcomes.
