'Today presents us with a great opportunity to learn more about conflict resolution and to improve our understanding of how our behaviours affect conflict.' Kevin Stewart, Minister for Mental Wellbeing and Social Care, opened the conference with its keynote speech. During the speech, the Minister recognised that Scottish families are struggling during the Cost of Living Crisis and that the strain can cause conflict that undermines relationships. 'I want to congratulate the SCCR on its innovative resources. The Scottish Government is grateful for its work around conflict resolution and stable family relationships, which is crucial for good mental health and wellbeing. We know that it is absolutely essential to work closely with the third and public sector, as well as those with lived experience, to ensure Scotland is the best place to grow up.'

'I was a Human Cannonball. In certain situations, I explode. I wasn’t shocked… I’d definitely recommend #KeepTheHeid. It would be fun to do when you’re sitting at a table with friends, having a conversation. You might think ‘Oh yeah, let’s quickly see [which circus act friends are]. I think I’ll try to react a bit more calmly in the future.'

'I feel like [Monkey Vs Lizard] opens up how you view your emotions and how now you’re going to go on to handle different situations. It’s going to encourage me more to think before I act.'

'We looked into The Three Brains and my result was ‘Multiplatinum’ which means that each of my three ‘brains’ are working together very well. My brain is still developing and I’ve learned that to be mentally healthy you have to be physically healthy. I feel because I came [to the Conference] I can see so much progress has been done, and so many opportunities opened up through the science shown here.'
