The facts and statistics around student wellbeing are truly alarming. The government has even declared a youth mental health crisis and has stepped in to offer monetary support. With this help, districts can realistically adopt a more holistic and comprehensive strategy. There are also very upsetting stats that bring attention to the rise in teacher stress and burnout. Teachers are the front line of defense for monitoring a student’s physical and emotional state. They need to be considered when addressing a new program. Understanding things that need to change for wellbeing programs is one thing, but knowing the best way to go about it is another.
Channing Anderson, Impero Product Engagement Manager, recently hosted a webinar highlighting the most effective way to approach wellbeing strategies. She brings your attention to some upsetting facts about students’ and teachers’ poor mental health. As Channing points out – Knowledge is Power. Interestingly, she also demonstrates how brain plasticity plays a significant role in understanding the most reliable wellbeing approach.
