Mental Health Talk: Wednesday 20th November

We are delighted to host Dick Moore to speak to parents & carers on Wednesday, 20 November at school from 7pm in the Hall.  Below you will find more information about Dick, who has spoken at school twice before (pre-pandemic).   No tickets needed for the night but we will be collecting donations on the night as make a donation to his chosen charity, The Charlie Waller Trust, for the talk.

Who claimed that adolescence is just a phase?  Who suggested that being a parent is easy?

Dick Moore, the parent of four often errant children and a headmaster for almost 23 years, embarked upon a mission to discover more about what makes young people tick and what he could or should have done during the challenging times!  He has a passion for the mental and emotional health and wellbeing of young people and will be exploring how young people think, why adolescence is an especially vulnerable time and what common issues  can arise when the going gets tough. Finally, he will offer some tongue-in-cheek tips for parenthood…..

This will be Dick’s third visit to LMS. He has spoken at over 500  schools, universities, businesses and conferences both in the UK and around the world. He is an instructor for Mental Health First Aid, a speaker for the Charlie Waller Trust and has attended an ASIST course in suicide intervention.  He gave a TEDx talk  in 2015 and a Head Talk in 2018.  He has also appeared on BBC Breakfast, BBC Radio 5 Live, various local BBC radio stations and ITN News with Mary Nightingale.
