Fostering a Classroom Culture to Support Students’ Mental Health

In this day-long intensive, educators will learn more about the current mental health climate and how this widespread epidemic is affecting young people. During this program, educators will develop strategies, curricular guidelines, and pedagogical approaches to address how physical health and mental health intersect in classrooms. Educators will leave this workshop with tools to support students in recognizing their stressors, coping mechanisms, nervous systems, and social wellness and to begin facilitating age-appropriate discussions about mental health. Additionally, participants will develop strategies to engage their school communities to collectively support this work.

• Explore how the mental health crisis impacts students and discover ways to foster developmentally appropriate conversations about this topic.

• Practice designing grade-specific lesson plans that address overarching mental health concepts.

• Engage in a discourse about how to raise these pressing themes in the classroom (and school community).

• Embrace our role as first responders for students, supporting their understanding of mental health as they navigate the ever-changing landscape of twenty-first-century adolescence.

The intended audience for this program is educators and administrators who are passionate and curious about supporting the mental health of their students and community. The “best fit” audience member is an educator who works with early to middle adolescent students, though the content of this program can be adapted and modified to fit a wider audience.
