	May Madness.... update...	147 días hace
	Hi everyone! I am really sorry for not updating in ages.... There has been a lot going on in my life, which I know is no excuse.... but anyways im back now and get ready for a big ish update! Like many of you, I have been doing all my final exams the past 2 months… which at times has been manic… Especially as I sat most of my exams before my sixth form left, so was preparing all the leavers assembly and event stuff, with no study leave as that didn’t start till half term… so since half term I have been off with no exams woop but had my final one last Friday! I wasn’t looking forward to it as it’s (in my opinion) the hardest subject I was doing, the exam was actually a living nightmare… Despite the fact I have been on study leave since May half term, I have been into school almost everyday volunteering and doing different events, including running several relaxation classes… Chillaxation – has now gone live… So far it has started really slowly, with just one school taking it up, but as soon as the exams are over I am going to be going around promoting the campaign and offering Chillaxation to schools… Oh might help if I actually explain it… Chillaxation is a 12 hour programme, (usually done over 2 days or few weeks) in which we train students/teacher/schools to be able to run their own relaxation programme for students. Also the campaign team will work with the school and students to help them learn some top tips in how to reduce the stress out of school/exams as well as raise the awareness of mental health issues within schools, through a custom made, carefully structured assembly/workshop… We can arrange to come to pretty much any school/college in England… Please contact me for details and to arrange the training… stressandstrainofschool@yahoo.co.uk Also recently I have received a letter from Rt Hon Ed Balls – sectary of state for Department of Children, Schools + Families (DCSF), inviting the “Stress and Strain of School” campaign team to meet with DCSF officials in order to ‘influence some of the changes being planned’ in light of the CAMHS independent review (November 2008 ) – which on the team we are immensely excited about! In other campaign news…. • The campaign is continuing to grow with new supporters, helpers and professionals joining weekly… • We have recently joined the “Junction 49” campaigning site, which as been amazing, the site is full of helpful staff and members, it has been the kick start the campaign needed! o Please follow the campaign… http://www.junction49.co.uk/idea/218... Huge “Thank You” to Katie (Alumni Coordinator, Princess Diana Award) and Sarah (Junction49 help-desker) these two lovelies have been amazing! Not only have they helped to get the campaign back on track, they have provided so much advice and really useful information to keep the campaign running and help it to grow! There has been loads more going on but don’t want to bore you with details! Chat soon, Laura-Liz xXx
