Show Notes

Wellbeing has never been more important than now - and it's a given that we're going to encounter some mental health issues in the future as a result of the pandemic lockdown.

Our experts on this topic discuss the need to plan for the new 'future normal' when students and staff are reintegrated into school, with preparations likely being required for separation anxiety (when pupils suddenly have to spend time away from parents) - as well as the availability of bereavement counselling.

We hear how technology is helping wellbeing in the shape of a "WellBot" powered by AI, how it's helping to look after parents' wellbeing too, and how our youngest students are sharing and communicating on GoBubble.
