Pacific Southwest MHTTC Wellness Wednesdays

Times: 5pm ET / 2pm PT / 11am HT (view your time zone)

 

More than one hundred participants have joined each of our first two Wellness Wednesdays. In response to high demand for more, we’ve added sessions through the month of April.

Educators and school mental health leadership are resilient, creative, and tenacious, but they need support to be able to provide support. In this period of stress and uncertainty, now is the time to gather and resource one another. In collaboration with the Meaning Makers Collective, we’re pleased to offer three School Mental Health Wellness Wednesdays. Each Wellness Wednesday is a 60-minute virtual session for the school mental health workforce to connect, reflect, and support each other.

Please note that the Wellness Wednesdays are not a sequence; you can join us for one, some, or all.

Access the presentation slides and handouts from each Wellness Wednesday session.

 

Audience: For state and local education agency education and behavioral health leaders, community-based organization staff, teachers, school site leaders, district administration, principals, school-based mental health staff, student support service providers, and anyone else who would like to join.
