Our December opening speaker is Shawmind founder and Board Chair, Adam Shaw who not only has a passion for mental health of the next generation, he has suffered with his own mental health issues and will talk us through how this need not prevent one from living a successful life.
On Wednesday 4th November, between 5-6pm, Shawmind, along with four esteemed guests, will be hosting a debate on Zoom, which will discuss mental health training for future teachers.
The panel will host the following guests:
