As the pandemic and other conditions continue to place stress on youth and young adults in the classroom, it’s essential to have innovative tools for connecting with and supporting students. Educators can address student mental health and need for referral in the classroom without additional training if they know how to observe the signs of distress. The purpose of this webinar is to share resources and strategies for supporting students showing signs and symptoms of trauma, suicide ideation, and social/emotional distress. Self-care techniques for educators will also be shared and case examples will be included.
We invite you to join us for this action-oriented session, which will feature customized, original tools developed by the Orange County Resource Directory specialists. This training will be led by subject matter experts Heidi Cisneros and Tina Rocha.
