Summary - Mental Health Matters 5267.L26.4373. Online registration by Cvent

Educators understand the ways mental health challenges can impact student wellness, and want to learn how to provide the support students need so they can focus and flourish. In this course, educators will celebrate students’ stories of successfully navigating mental illness and will investigate how to address the stigma associated with it. Pick a PreK, elementary, middle, high school, or educator pathway, then create a “mental health moonshot,” your opportunity to dream big and share ideas for making mental health a priority. Discover ways to boost engagement with research-based, actionable strategies like movement, meditation, and mindfulness. Explore how issues of identity, disordered eating, suicide, gun violence, social media, and racism affect student mental health and how technology brings support to “our fingertips.” End the course on a hopeful, high-note as you grow in your understanding for supporting students so they can be happy and healthy.
