About The Webinar
Recognising Emotional Vulnerability and Seeking Validation Online | Primary
This webinar will provide senior leaders, designated safeguarding leads and teaching staff with practical advice and guidance on how to identify the signs of emotional vulnerability, and how to support children in beginning to build their internal validation and resilience in a destigmatising way.
Children seek approval from family, teachers and friends to feel validated and good about themselves. With an extended peer group available online, however – and a proliferation of sites and communities which promote self-harm, eating disorders or suicide, this quest for validation can lead children into dangerous areas.
In this webinar Dr Rina Bajaj, counselling psychologist with almost 20 years’ experience of working with children, focuses on mental health and wellbeing and discusses the human need for belonging, outlines the normal processes of forming social connections, and highlights the risks associated with seeking online validity.
