SCCR Online Conference 2025

Can't, Not Won't

‘Can’t’ not ‘won’t’ - is there a choice? Or is there a barrier? For many young people, it’s not a case of ‘won’t’, but of ‘can’t’; life has limited their ability to make progress. The conference will examine what these barriers are, how they came to be – and what we can do to help them pass these obstacles.

Status Quo or Status No: Rethinking Mental Health in Education

We are in the midst of a mental health crisis, and status quo is not good enough for Scotland’s young people. Led by Billy Burke (Head of Service at SAMH), this event will explore and discuss what needs to change and how can the education system help. The event will be followed by a Q&A.
