About this Event
Presenter: Millie Shepich
Research shows having at least one relationship with a supportive adult is a protective factor in a youth’s resiliency. When adolescents are navigating the challenges of shifting emotional states, it may be difficult to differentiate typical adolescent behavior from behaviors indicating a more serious mental health condition. As staff members, recognizing the signs and symptoms of a mental health situation, and what to do next is particularly important in early intervention.
Through part 1, participants will learn more about how to identify and assist a student with a mental health need and the resources available for support. Discussion opportunities to share success practices in helping students manage a challenging situation will occur and collaborate on ways to build positive connections with the student, family, and staff support.
Objectives- Participants will:
- Recognize mental health signs and symptoms
- Recognize mental health signs and symptoms
- Respond appropriately to a student with a mental health need
- Recommend ways to help a student get support
Part 1 is not needed to take Part 2
