As the world becomes more complex for young people and as anxiety levels increase, what role might schools play in creating emotionally healthy spaces where mental health issues can be tackled confidently and sensitively by practitioners in the field?

In this conference, we explore ways for this to happen.

The conference offers a range of workshops and presentations supported by the counselling profession and staff and students from Iron Mill College.
