edWebinars: Improve Mental Health Outcomes: How to Support and Empower Students and Parents

Description:

Just four months ago, the U.S. Surgeon General put out a rare public health advisory: Students are in a life or death mental health crisis. Effectively supporting students AND their families is critical to young people’s mental wellness, learning and thriving.

Join renowned author and leadership expert Stedman Graham and equity leader and Menifee Union School District Student Support Services Director, ShaKenya Edison, to learn practical strategies to support and empower students and parents now.

In this edLeader Panel, attendees will learn:

• What is “Identity Leadership” and how to use it to motivate youth, families and staff to overcome the obstacles COVID has exacerbated
• How to support students’ mental health at every MTSS tier without losing instructional minutes
• How to reach and empower parents/caregivers to best support their children
• How to ensure that all staff—regardless of training level—support students through an equity lens

This edLeader Panel is of interest to PreK-12 school and district leaders, teachers, school counselors and social workers, federal program coordinators, and those involved in supporting students’ and families’ mental health. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
