Location
The Shiplake College Wellbeing Day on Saturday 31 January is for parents or carers of teenagers (or soon to be teenagers) looking for advice and practical strategies to help their young adults thrive!
We bring together a range of specialists to offer their expert advice on some of the challenges facing our teens - and the wider family. We hope this slice of calm, relaxation and knowledge will help you kick-start the year in a positive and informed way!
- Keynote Speaker Alicia Drummond (Founder of Teen Tips and The Wellbeing Hub): Her essential talk, 'Why Every Child Needs a Parrot,' will give you a fresh, memorable perspective on teenage mental health and communication, helping you create a more supportive home environment
- Michelle Smith (Registered Nutritionist and founder of Forage): Fueling the teenage brain and body—simple changes for better energy and focus.
- Simon Faulkner (Travel Safety): Essential knowledge for ensuring your teen is safe, responsible, and prepared when traveling or adventuring independently
- Rory Abery (SEN Coach): Practical strategies for understanding and supporting teens with ADHD, from lived experience
- Rima Clayton (Registered Dermatologist and Founder of Derma): Teenage skin - confidence, myth busting and advice on everything from acne to sun damage
- Shipla McQuillan (Perimenopause and Menopause Expert): Symptoms, treatments, approach and myths will all be covered in this interactive session
The day ends with an open networking session, giving you the chance to chat directly with our experts, ask questions, and connect with other parents.
Tickets are £20 each (or £30 for two). All proceeds from ticket sales for this event will go to our PAWS FOR THOUGHT FUND - our programme to raise funds for a new Wellbeing Centre at the College.
