Supporting Students’ Mental Health

In this online intensive, educators will learn more about the current mental health climate and how this widespread epidemic is affecting young people. During this workshop, 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.
Participants will:
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
