Make a Lasting Impact on School Mental Health with Thrive’s Mental Wellness Professional Development
We’re in the midst of a national emergency impacting mental health in school resulting in drops in academic performance, rising school refusal, increases in problematic and violent behavior, and skyrocketing rates of staff turnover.
School leaders want to provide effective mental wellness support, something that is required by the U.S. Department of Education and desperately needed. Yet few schools staff members have the training or tools to respond appropriately to the school mental health challenges they face daily. That’s one of the reasons why teachers are leaving the profession in droves.
