REGISTRATION CLOSED

Speaker

Lisa Kingkade, LMHC, M.Ed.

Description

Using a strength-based approach, how do we foster resilience in our youth and help them re-engage in school? Do we look to control behaviors or do we aim to see their potential and help them to believe in themselves? This webinar series will look at proactively identifying students who have a difficult time engaging at school, while discussing strategies that draw upon their strengths to help them succeed.

Participants must attend all 5 sessions and successfully pass a quiz following Session 5 to receive PDPs and CEUs. Following the live webinar, registrants will be emailed a link to view the recorded webinar. The recording will be made available for 7 days after each session.
