Surviving Summer Term
(Thursday 23 April 7.00pm – 8.00pm)
The summer term tends to create both anxiety and relief for students – as the stress of exams and sheer volume of work to submit and revise is followed by the delight of easy summer months to relax and hang out with friends. This year’s final academic term will be like no other, and as students are set the task of continuing with self-directed home study, a host of new challenges emerge in relation to uncertainty, anxiety levels, concentration capacity and the discipline of study. Bronagh will discuss the challenges and offer strategies to support students to engage in a productive and purposeful final term of school. This webinar is suitable for teenagers aged 14 – 18 and their parents, as well as therapeutic and educational professionals.
Fee: FREE

Participants will be offered therapeutic strategies to support the reintegration and continued expansion of the lifespace for the adolescent.
