Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the future of mental health support in schools.
Our panel of experts will provide insights, address challenges, and suggest strategies for creating a more supportive and inclusive environment for mental health in the education system.
Speakers include Pete Crane of The Joseph Trust; Mel Forster of the University of York’s Psychology Department; Rod Sims, Headteacher of York High School; and Joshua Stubbs of the PSHE Association and the University of York’s Education Department.
The event, which has been organised to celebrate 30 years of York Students in Schools (YSIS), is chaired by Matt Matravers, chair of the University of York’s Community Volunteering Committee.
Set up by University of York students, YSIS is an award-winning scheme in which students volunteer at local schools and nurseries to help support teachers and pupils. Its aim is to help raise aspirations and attainment of school-age students in York.
