Round two presentation success - bravo to today's presenters

Hello again everybody,

Another wonderful round of presentations today, I thoroughly enjoyed them all.

Well done to Joanne, Ainsley, Yvonne, John and Jan who were all successful today. 

The subjects covered today were as follows: Social Media and the effects on the young, CBT, Grief and effects on mental health / wellbeing, PTSD, Complex Trauma.

Again, some brilliant research, logical links in the talks, some personalisation, but lots of solid content to help scaffold all the fine content. Top drawer for the second week running. 

"Tomorrow can be a new day", and today has been an excellent day.

Please note your thoughts below in the comments section, especially if you presented today and of course, if you were in the audience listening in. 

Have a great week everybody and I look forward to the final seven talks next Tuesday.

Here's to a restful evening.

Very well done to today's presenters

Hello all,

I thoroughly enjoyed the six presentations we listened to today for the Communication Unit we are working on.

I think Jan and Yvonne summed it up perfectly when they noted they were fantastic and fabulous, and I must agree.

We had six very competent deliveries which were well researched, sensibly structured, covering a variety of topics and to a high standard of delivery, so well done to Kellie-Anne, John, Lisa, Shannon, Vel and Robyn.

The subjects were Alcohol and Drug Addiction, Meditation, Wim Hof Method, Trichotillomania, The Gloria Films and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy.

I would like you to comment on how you felt the session went this afternoon, especially if you presented your research today, but I encourage any attendee to provide feedback too. Every comment counts after all!

Wonderful work all round and total success, very well done.

Thank you to all attendees; I am sure you will have learned a great deal from the talks, for lots of reasons.

Please note down your reflections below.

Mark
