Why students and staff connect with David
David’s own depression and anxiety began when he was eighteen. He talks about it plainly, so students can see that struggling is common and that there are things that help.
He also teaches therapists, counsellors and teachers how attention works and how to train it, so his sessions for staff cover how to pass these skills on.
