How governors can help reduce anxiety in schools

Cost-of-living anxiety: The signs to look out for (and how you can help)

The cost-of-living crisis was recently identified as the leading cause of anxiety in young people - with 56% of respondents to a survey by YoungMinds and Beano Brains saying the hardship had triggered negative emotions and disrupted their everyday life.

In ‘Cost-of-living anxiety: The signs to look out for (and how you can help)’, school governor and Head of Product and Innovation at Thrive, Viv Trask-Hall, introduces you to the scale of the problem, the weight of the crisis on young shoulders, how to spot the signs of cost-of-living anxiety, and the whole-school approach governors are embracing to reduce the influence of community adversity on pupils’ development.

This one-time only webinar is happening as part of a programme of online events for National School Governors’ Awareness Day on 28th February.
