Jamie's Farm invites you to their event
About this event
The importance of 'Belonging' in schools and its impact on wellbeing and attendance is becoming increasingly understood, but what does it really mean, and how do we create it authentically and in collaboration with young people?
Belonging ('Family') is one of the key pillars of our the therapeutic programme at Jamie's Farm. During the webinar, we will discover why a sense of belonging is so critical in any work with young people and crucially, how we can go about achieving this in our organisations.
