Coming Together: tips for keeping parents, schools and students connected
Tuesday, August 24th, 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM (EST)

August can be a confusing month. While enjoying the final days of summer vacation – squeezing as much rest, relaxation and fun in as possible – we begin to think about returning to school. In a typical year, back-to-school shopping, classroom assignments and anticipating a new grade (or even an entirely new school) is stressful enough. After two school years marked by disruption and uncertainty, we know that 2021-2022 is going to be unlike any other.

This webinar will focus on two topics: providing families and caregivers ways to incorporate self-care and mindfulness into their daily routines and strategies and tips to navigate change and uncertainty with the start of a new school year.

Led by the School Mental Health Resource and Training Center’s new director, Brandon Beachamp and MHANY’s own Deborah Faust, Director of Family Engagement & Support, participants will learn the tools and skills necessary for good mental health and wellness for themselves and for the children and youth in their lives.
