There is a mental health crisis in our school system. Teachers are burned out. Students are stressed out. Parents are checked out. School leaders are overextended as they struggle to meet their students’ mental health needs and retain staff. Though we’ve been trying to make improvements for decades, we’re still overwhelmed. The future of student achievement depends on how we respond, so it’s essential to do something different now. Instead of fixing the problem with new products and extensive overhauls, which adds more to our to-do list, you’ll learn how to utilize the best resources you already have in place. You’ll gain practical tools to effectively improve the well-being of your whole school community, starting with you.
