As student mental health and wellness concerns continue to rise, we must ask, “how do we support students BEFORE feelings and behaviors escalate?”  Join this DA webinar to discuss proactive and practical structures for support, united by a common emphasis on listening to students and fostering relationships.District and school leaders from Oakland Unified (Cali.), North Shore District 112 (Ill.), and Newton Public Schools (Mass.), will share their respective journeys from reactive referrals to proactive Tier 1 support that emphasizes student voice and fostering belonging.Topics will include:

  • The urgent need for more proactive approaches to student support
  • How proactive and restorative approaches build a strong Tier 1 foundation
  • The simple routines that can help build connection with students and incorporate their voices into the support process
  • How to encourage student self-reflection to help focus and tailor interventions
