Placing Well-Being and Resilience at the Heart of School Life: Approaches from Positive Psychology IN PERSON CPD

Placing Well-Being and Resilience at the Heart of School Life: Approaches from Positive Psychology IN PERSON CPD

Date: Monday 21st October 2024

Time: 4:30 - 6pm

Location: Monaghan Education Centre

Well-being and resilience are the essential foundations to help students and staff to flourish and reach their potential, and it is now it is more important than ever for us to place them at the heart of school life.

This session will explore the concepts of well-being and resilience, and outline many practical approaches to develop them, both for staff and students. These approaches are drawn from the field of Positive Psychology, which is the science of well-being & resilience. The suggestions and ideas can also help to support schools who are engaging in well-being promotion through the SSE process, as outlined in the Well-Being Policy Statement & Framework for Practice. (DES, 2018)

Facilitator: Fiona Forman

I’m an author, speaker, trainer, facilitator and former teacher in the areas of well-being and Positive Psychology.

Having spent many years as a primary school teacher, I’m passionate about placing well-being at the heart of school life. For the past few years, promoting this has been my focus- through my books, media contributions, and training sessions.

I hold an M. Sc. in Applied Positive Psychology, the science of well-being, from the University of East London.

My programmes include Weaving Well-Being, a positive mental health programme for primary school children which is now in use in the majority of Irish Primary Schools, and also Wired for Well-Being, my programme for second-level students.

My junior programme, Welcome to Well-Being, has been recently released in Ireland and abroad.

I design and deliver webinars, talks, training sessions and seminars to teachers and parents, so please get in touch if you would like to book one!
