WEBINAR: 'Big Day of Learning' session 2: The science of wellbeing

Taking time for yourself

During these challenging times brought about by COVID-19, everyone needs to ensure they take time for themselves, to help build resilience and manage the challenges we face in both work and our personal lives. 

The OSCB would like to offer this wellbeing session for all practitioners working with families and children during our 'Big Day of Learning' event, as a lunchtime session.

Facilitator: Adrian Bethune

Adrian Bethune is a part time primary school teacher, the Education Policy co-lead at the Mindfulness Initiative and founder of Teachappy. In 2012, he was awarded a ‘Happy Hero’ medal by Lord Richard Layard at the House of Lords for his work on developing wellbeing in schools. In 2015, he was invited to speak at the Action for Happiness event, Creating A Happier World, on stage with the Dalai Lama.

How the science of wellbeing can improve your life

In this session, Adrian Bethune, will introduce you to the science of wellbeing (sometimes known as positive psychology), sharing the evidence of what works and giving practical ideas for applying it to their lives. It will cover rewiring the negativity bias, maintaining perspective, mindfulness, generating positive emotions and gratitude.
