Mental Health 101: Understanding & Supporting Mental Health and Mental Illness

This session will provide an overview of the continuum of mental health and mental illness and the unique dynamics each have in our schools, communities and systems. We will learn the most common mental health concerns we see in students, and speak to the best supports for them and both the challenges and opportunities we face when understanding them. We’ll explore the supports available to us as we provide timely, effective and appropriate referrals & assistance.
