As COVID and other crises continue, and as schools and students adapt to the ever changing "new normal" how can we stay balanced and resilient through these new challenges we face as teachers, school districts, and just as people? With this crisis also comes an opportunity for post-traumatic growth that invites the possibility to strengthen us as individuals and as school communities when we effectively apply mindfulness and other wellness strategies to build more resilience. While everyone faces unique challenges at this moment, we will come together to explore what is universal. Together, we will investigate time-tested principles and strategies, grounded in research, that will support teachers and the communities we serve. In this webinar, you will learn tools to strengthen your resilience and turn a challenging time into a period of personal and collective growth.
