We were delighted to be invited to the annual ‘Why Talking Matters’ Conference held at Breadsall Priory. We feel very fortunate that Landau Forte College Derby, has been selected to receive a wellbeing resource library to support young people’s wellbeing and mental health.
Students had the opportunity to listen to how other schools use their resources for support, chat with therapist and guest speaker Becky Goddard-Hill and be entertained by children’s author Julian Sedgwick. They enjoyed some tasty treats as well as being gifted a notebook, pen and a book of their own to support young people’s mental health.
Here’s what one of our young people said, “My favourite part of the trip was when the author Julian Sedgwick gave his talk. It was engaging, informative and he answered all of my questions about writing and mental health. I also enjoyed the activities, and I ended up making some friends outside of this school through the activities. I can’t wait for the new wellbeing space to open, so mental health gets more recognition on how important it is.”
Well done to our students who represented the school so brilliantly! We look forward to working with Why Talking Matters in September.
