                   Author of Boarding School Syndrome: The Psychological Trauma of the ‘Privileged’ Child

Joy Schaverien is a delight to listen to.

Joy’s talks are always much appreciated… She is empathetic and it is very affirming to hear a professional speak out on ‘how things actually were’.

Joy’s presentation kind of confirmed a lot of things that I had suspected but had not put them all together.

Guest speaker: Tom Greaves
                   Make them Laugh, Make them Listen
                   Actor and comedian Tom Greaves talks about the challenges and rewards of turning
                   his healing process into a piece of award-winning fringe theatre.

Tom’s performance gave a whole new angle to some boarding issues… His performance was both therapeutic and cathartic.

Tom’s presentation and acting/singing was outstanding: a very personal and uplifting story of healing which was truly inspiring.

Tom’s presentation was brilliant, entertaining and deeply moving… I laughed and cried spontaneously. A lovely authentic addition to the day.
