Virtual Conference Session #6: Reducing Stress and Rebuilding Health (Techniques for using neuroscience for self-care)
Virtual: Mental Health in Schools Conference, 4th Annual!




This presentation will provide an overview of evidence-based techniques that attendees can learn in order to teach their own brain and body to wire for calm and focus. These simple techniques based on neuroscience are proven to help us create new brain cells, reduce cortisol levels, and foster an empowering sense of control so that we can feel better equipped to face difficult challenges and uncertainty.

Important Session Information:


Good mental health is critical to children’s success in school and life. Research demonstrates that students who receive social–emotional and mental health support achieve better academically. School climate, classroom behavior, on-task learning, and students’ sense of connectedness and well-being all improve as well. The goal of this conference is to improve mental health literacy among educators and school staff. Mental health literacy is defined as:

1. Understanding how to foster and maintain good mental health/wellness
2. Understanding mental health conditions/disorders
3. Decreasing stigma
4. Understanding how to seek help effectively

Join us as we spend two days discussing how to effectively address Mental Health and Wellness in classrooms and schools all across our region.
