Grounded in emotional resilience and mindfulness research, this training helps educators partner effectively with parents to prevent youth mental health crises before they start. Participants will learn how to help parents balance logic and empathy, navigate home-school communication around student stress, and foster everyday micro-interactions—from morning drop-offs to kitchen table conversations—that build long-term emotional strength in children.</font></p> <p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman"><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" style=""><strong>This book study runs from October 12th - Dec7th.&nbsp;</strong></font><br></font></p> <p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman"><em>Participants will need to purchase the book Dancing in the Elevator by Dr. Amit Sood.</em></font></p> <p><br></p> https://sdschoolcounselor.org/event-6837611 https://sdschoolcounselor.org/event-6837611
