About #engage_and_connect

#engage_and_connect was started in May 2020 to support engage in their future members and colleagues across SEMH education as they faced the unprecedented challenges and pressures of the Covid-19 pandemic. The supportive and accessible sessions helped to keep everyone connected as well as provide informative, relevant content from experienced, knowledgeable guests.

Although circumstances continue to evolve and some sense of normality has returned, the need for support and connection remains, as does demand for relevant, useful advice and resources available from an easily accessible platform.
