This program provides an overview of anxiety and depression in youth and offers strategies for supporting those identified students in your role in the school community. Tier 1, 2, and 3 supports will be discussed, and time will be provided for questions. Topics to be covered include: differentiating between anxiety and stress, differentiating between depression and sadness, warning signs and symptoms, appropriate responses to anxiety behaviors, behavioral de-escalation, suicidal ideation in youth, mitigating long-term effects of mental health issues at a young age and the role of supporting adults.
Grief doesn’t always look like sadness—it can feel like exhaustion, detachment, or just going through the motions. Join this session to explore compassionate strategies that support you, wherever you are on your healing journey. Walk away with practical, evidence-based tools to better care for yourself and support others throughout the school year.
