Supporting Student Mental Health

Educators make a powerful impact on students’ lives and are in a special position to support their mental well-being. In this course, you will learn to identify warning signs of distress in students and provide a pathway to mental health resources and support.
All students benefit from strong connections with caring adults at school. Even if you’re not a mental health expert, you have the skills to support a student in distress.
