Meeting increasing Social Emotional, Mental Health (SEMH) needs within mainstream settings

In this webinar we will explore the increase in SEMH needs and how we can meet the challenge of assessing needs and providing targeted support within school. Our speaker, Kayleigh Larne, from the Anna Freud Centre will share practical resources and toolkits. 

Objectives of the webinar:

• To understand practical ways to assess needs and provide targeted support for children and young people with SEMH 

• Promoting inclusion and belonging within a whole school approach to positive mental health 

By watching this webinar we hope that SENDCOs, school leaders and teachers will be better equipped to assess SEMH needs within their setting and gain an understanding of a whole school approach to promote positive mental health.
