Addressing the mental health needs of adults who work in our schools is necessary for delivering both high quality education and for establishing a healthy school climate.
Brief Program Description
Addressing the mental health needs of adults who work in our schools is necessary for delivering both high quality education and for establishing a healthy school climate. Faculty and staff are experiencing greater stressors than ever, and addressing their mental health needs with practical strategies is vital. This session will help school leaders to identify the stressors affecting faculty and staff, to understand the impact of those stressors on school climate and employee retention, and to develop strategies that support the mental health needs of faculty and staff. Participants will apply brain states, self-care strategies that maintain mental health, and strategies for creating a community of care that supports the mental health of employees, especially during times of stress. This session will include both didactic information and practical strategies that school leaders could implement immediately.
