Mission Statement
Digital Wellbeing Talks for Staff
Supporting pastoral care staff and teachers with the latest research in digital wellbeing
We live in a world where screens, messaging, group chats and online spaces are always present.
For pastoral and teaching staff, this adds new layers of learning and understanding.
Emotional overwhelm
Broken sleep cycles
Social pressure
Comparison and validation loops
Difficulty switching off
Pastoral care now includes the digital spaces students spend time in — often without proper guidance.
What These Talks Offer
A grounded, practical session to help staff:
  • Understand how digital life affects wellbeing, attention and emotional regulation
  • Feel more confident opening conversations without conflict
  • Learn simple ways to support healthy habits in daily school life
  • Build language and relational frameworks that feel natural and doable
Banning devices isn't going to work on it's own, we need to understand the impact our digital use has on growing minds and bodies and give our young people the agency to understand this themselves, in order to thrive in the digital age and make better choices that last them a lifetime.
Katie delivered a thought provoking and impactful session on digital wellbeing to a range of pastoral staff at Sherborne School. Her talk gave staff the right knowledge and tools to explore an ever growing issue amongst young people. Her content was up to date and expertly executed and those who attended felt more empowered to have good conversations about their digital habits.
