 Take part in Sussex Central YMCA's Sleep Easy event

On 30th January 2010 between 8pm and 8am Sussex Central YMCA are asking people to take part in a new event called Sleep Easy and spend the night sleeping rough so others don't have to.

Sussex Central YMCA has been supporting young people across Sussex for 90 years.  Every night we provide over 130 bed spaces for young people who would otherwise be homeless.

Resident and volunteer Kim says of Sussex Central YMCA: "they helped me when I needed a roof over my head.  When I wasn't very well and had no one to turn to Sussex Central YMCA supported me.  I don't like to think about what would have happened to me if Sussex Central YMCA wasn't there."

Challenge yourself, have fun and raise money to support Sussex Central YMCA's work with homeless young people by spending a night sleeping out under the stars (cardboard boxes provided by Big Yellow Storage!).  The Sleep Easy event will take place in the grounds of the recently reopened St Peter's Church with a fun-packed programme including live music, story telling and giant games.

Registration fee is £10 and includes supper and breakfast by Bagelman, Pret a Manger and McDonalds.

 Support our event!

This seminar will explore the links between children's early experience, their emotional well-being and their performance in school. It will be of great interest to teachers, counsellors, therapists and all those working with children. Specifically, the seminar will address such issues as:

• Attachment theory as a framework for understanding social and emotional development
• Behaviour as communication
• Patterns of behaviour and how they affect learning
• School as a secure base
• Ways to support those working with children in schools

There will be an opportunity for discussion and reference to clinical work.

Dr Heather Geddes is a qualfied teacher and Educational Psychotherapist who undertakes training and consultation with teachers and educational staff. Dr Geddes completed her PhD thesis on attachment behaviour in relation to responses to the teacher and the learning task. She works privately as a therapist, supervisor and trainer and contributes to the MA Training in Educational Psychotherapay at the Caspari Foundation. Her book 'Attachment in the Classroom' was published in 2006 and signed copies will be on sale on the day.
