The pandemic has had an immense impact on our lives, both as individuals and as a society. It has deeply affected the fabric of our society, influencing politics and economy, arts and culture, education, and health and social care. It has changed our ways of relating, to family and friends and our ways of working, and it has deeply affected our emotional well-being. With dialogues about some of these issues, the Institute of Psychoanalysis is continuing its series of webinars that offer a psychoanalytic angle to these new challenges.
These dialogues will be held live on Zoom and will also be made available the following day for 24 hours to all registered participants. This is to allow for international attendees to enjoy the event at a more appropriate time in their time zone. After this, the recording will no longer be available.
**To book any individual event, please click the relevant section in the programme outlined below. The individual dialogues are priced at £25 each, the full series can be booked at £60**
23rd Mar | Schools, mental health and the pandemic 8:15pm
Schools play a crucial role for the social, emotional and intellectual development of children and adolescents. Attending to school children’s mental health creates enormous challenges.
Managing the different demands, from government and local authorities, parents and children, is difficult at the best of times. The pandemic has not only increased these challenges, but has created new ones, through the risk of social contact, new forms of teaching and learning, and the heightened anxieties and emotional problems children and teachers face.
Emil Jackson, child & adult psychotherapist and executive coach, who has worked extensively with schools and co-edited the book “Sustaining Depth and Meaning in School Leadership: Keeping your Head”, will be in dialogue with psychoanalyst Maxim de Sauma, Head of the Child Training at the Institute of Psychoanalysis and Clinical Director of the Brent Centre for Young People, which has developed work with schools. The event will be chaired by the psychoanalyst Hannah Solemani, who has worked with young people at the Brent Centre for over 20 years.
