An area of my practice that I’ve continued to develop this year is direct work with parents. I love being able to support parents to understand behaviour and provide useful strategies and frameworks that support positive change. A really important part of EP practice! 😊

Next Tuesday, I'm giving a talk at UCL about the downsides of mental health awareness in schools.

I'll be sharing the work I've been doing over the last two years, which explores the negative effects that universal mental health interventions can have in schools
