Mental Health and Learning: How Emotional Wellbeing Shapes Attention, Behaviour, and Progress

As part of TDCC’s Mental Health Month initiatives, we are pleased to invite parents, educators, and caregivers to our upcoming webinar, “Mental Health and Learning: How Emotional Wellbeing Shapes Attention, Behaviour, and Progress.”

This session will explore the important connection between a child’s emotional wellbeing and their ability to focus, participate, manage behaviour, and make progress in learning. When children experience stress, anxiety, overwhelm, or emotional dysregulation, these challenges may appear as attention difficulties, changes in behaviour, reduced confidence, or struggles in school performance.

Through this webinar, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how mental health influences learning and how adults can provide meaningful support at home and in school.

Objectives

By the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:

1. Understand how emotional wellbeing affects attention, behaviour, and learning.

2. Recognise signs of stress, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation in children.

3. Learn practical strategies to support regulation, confidence, and learning readiness.
