Clinical Psychologist Dr Sarah-Jane Knight From Let’s All Talk About Mental Health Speaks to Staff

We were thrilled to welcome Dr Sarah-Jane Knight, a resident clinical psychologist for Let’s All Talk About Mental Health, to Mill Hill. She delivered an engaging and informative session to staff about managing mental health challenges in school. The talk focused on a variety of topics, such as:

  1. What schools are experiencing with pupils’ mental health and why?
  2. How to distinguish between ordinary developmental challenges and mental health issues and how this knowledge will help a school
  3. What tools/resources/structures does the school have to implement this, including CAMHS referrals and other 3rd parties.
  4. Developing good working relationship with families

Our parents can access Let’s All Talk Mental Health’s weekly webinars. The sessions are tailored to parents and involve experts in their field joining them to discuss various topics from eating disorders and anxiety to ASC/ADHD and gender identity. Mill Hill has been working with them for the last two years and their talks are popular with our parent body. Parents can register for a pass to access these resources by clicking here.

Let’s All Talk Mental Health are now building an Educator Hub for teachers and have so far created on-demand sessions on ADHD, Anxiety and Autism. They intend to continue to build this so a full CPD (continuing professional development) library is available, which will be a fantastic resource for our teachers!
