Parents, community members and educators alike are becoming increasingly aware of the need to contribute to children’s character development. The promotion of a caring, respectful and safe climate is a priority for all schools. In this workshop we look at the factors that contribute to a safe school, including a psychology model to suit schools, sound mental health, the use of discretion, staff training, parental involvement and student empowerment. Participants will have many opportunities to examine cutting edge research, review effective practices, and discuss the issues, share and network.

Participants will be trained on mental health first aid required for schools as well as educated on various models of school psychology services customized to meet their unique set of demands and needs.

The resource person is Dr. B. Imtiyaaz, a School Psychologist and a successful trainer.  He is the first in India to train psychology graduates and professionals to become as School Psychologists and again he is the first in India to Train People on Mental Health First Aid. He is the founder of Psykology.in and President of International Association of Holistic Psychology (IAHP). He leads a team of professionals working with students of schools and colleges across the country.  He has been working on child and adolescent development for the last eight years and has been an active participant in various researches like girl empowerment, home schooling, and inclusive education.

He has worked with all types of schools for almost 8 years and has trained hundreds of people to work as a school psychologist creating safer environments for the children. His team of school psychologists is spread out throughout India serving all types of schools under his able guidance and support.
