Episode 17
In this episode we revisit the conversation with Pete O'Shea from 'Gloves not Gunz', an organisation based in Croydon and South London that aims to prevent and divert young people from crime, antisocial behaviour, exclusion from education and 'care'. Recorded to coincide with Children's Mental Health Week, Pete talks about how positive relationships, education and diversion activities can make a difference to some of our most vulnerable, and often challenging, children and young people.
We also talk about strategies for teacher wellbeing in the face of what can seem, at times, like a helpless struggle to support our children against the pressures of gangs, social media, drill music and increasingly disconnected lives.
