Many children are struggling with feelings of stress, overwhelm, and anxiety. And these adverse feelings can negatively impact their relationships, learning, and overall well-being. As a result, it’s vital that we help build children’s skills of resilience—their ability to identify and manage their feelings; solve problems and make responsible decisions; and develop healthy, empathetic relationships.
You are invited to this free event. Join our panel of experts to learn how parents and teachers can work together to develop, nurture, and support the social and emotional well-being of children of all ages. You will also have an opportunity to ask questions.
Intended for: All parents and educators
