About the Live Q&A

Dr. Bilek will answer questions about the new TRAILS program developed in response to the current public health crisis. TRAILS is offering special training for student support staff on delivery of this program focused on student self-care and effective coping strategies. 

There is one seven-session manual for grades 3–5 and another manual for grades 6–12.  
 

Prerequisite

You are required to view a two-hour recorded webinar about the TRAILs program before the Q&A session.  

The two-hour webinar will introduce the TRAILS session agendas and accompanying materials and equip attendees to teach students several self-care strategies grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. Students can use these strategies to cope effectively with common difficulties during COVID-19 and other stressful and challenging times, such as anxiety, depression, social isolation, worried thoughts, poor sleep, and decreased energy.
