The Research in Educational and Social Inclusion Concentration invites you to attend a seminar
‘Schools as nurturing environments for mental health’
Presented by Professor Colleen McLaughlin
This seminar will offer an alternative paradigm on mental health and schools to the current largely medical one. Colleen will present research on the school’s impact and contribution to wellbeing or positive mental health, as well as exploring what the influences of the school’s daily practices are on young people’s sense of self and agency. She will offer an alternative model for building schools as nurturing environments as well as its evidence base. This is an area of past and current research interest.
