Susan is the founder of Positive Kids. She is passionate about improving children’s emotional well-being and helping them to stay healthy and safe in today’s complex world.

Positive Kids offers a bi monthly magazine, online discussion forum and events and workshops to equip parents, teachers, community workers, well-being practitioners and other interested parties, with knowledge, advice, tools and techniques to help them support the children in their lives.

Susan also loves to showcase children’s inspirational stories and publicise when children do positive things. She believes it is important to highlight this as there is often disproportionate negative publicity around young people’s behaviour.

I’m David Gumbrell, an ex-headteacher with over 25+ years of experience in the Primary sector. I left headship about 3 years ago to provide support for Early Career Teachers. This has allowed me to write 3 books – one for children shorturl.at/gHIS0 and two for NQTs shorturl.at/uJQ12 (with a sequel to follow in 2021).

I am delighted to be an ambassador for the amazing Positively Empowered Kids group. We all need to collaborate to support young people to manage their resilience needs. I offer my education experience and knowledge in the hope that the good work that they do can get into schools and homes.
