Michael will be presenting on “How Technology can help Staff Mental Health”.  Research shows that teaching staff have the highest level of occupational stress. This presentation explores how staff can use technology to promote their own wellbeing in the form of the latest evidence-based smartphone apps, web-based programs and biometric devices. The afternoon sessions covers diet, exercise, sleep, mindfulness etc.
