Mental Health Conference, October 20, 2018 8:30 am – 3:30 pm
This October 20th, we are hosting a school mental health conference that welcomes anyone who is interested or involved in education (teachers, staff, edtech, etc), wellness, or healthcare. Our conference will be focused on mental health of students & families, as well of those working in schools. Topics that will be covered include immigrant mental health in schools, mindfulness, self-care, behavioral management, common mental disorders in the classroom, IEP’s & 504s, trauma informed education, talking about disasters, and suicide prevention. There will also be a lunchtime Q&A (lunch included) with session leaders.
As former teachers, we firsthand understand the complexity of mental health in our education system, the need for sociopolitical changes, and the gap in training on many of these topics. This conference was developed in response to the high demand for more mental health training for educators, administrators, and community members! We hope you can make it! (Office Depot Raffle for first 50 to register!)
