About Vanessa White

 

Vanessa White is a specialist educator in gifted education, who advocates fiercely for the infusion of trauma-informed practices across all spheres of practice and life. She runs Lifting the Lid, a gifted education consultancy service, along-side Hello Calm, an endeavour which is aimed at supporting young people who experience anxiety and/or live with the ongoing impacts of trauma, and the resulting dysregulated stress response. Vanessa will be speaking at the upcoming Gifted Wellbeing conference being hosted by the Aotearoa New Zealand Association for Gifted Children in September 2020, where she will present on anxiety and resilience in gifted kids.
