Do you feel overwhelmed with the mental health needs at your school? Do you feel that what you were trained to do and what you are doing day-to-day are vastly different? Are you finding it difficult to meet the needs of implementing direct and indirect student services to meet the various mental health needs of your students (and staff)? Would you like to find strategies that can be easily implemented into your school counselor program? If so, this seminar was designed for you. Jennifer Rogers is a highly recognized national presenter, author and counselor who has worked with developing programming to meet ALL of your students' needs.
With over 20 years of experience as a school counselor and national presenter, Jennifer brings specialized experience in developing and implementing behavioral and social emotional programming and support for schools. Jennifer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who works in and out of schools to support the mental health needs of students through practical, proven strategies. Jennifer's extensive experience in K-12 districts brings to her seminars a realistic perspective for developing programs that provide prevention and intervention support for school counselors.
You will receive the comprehensive digital resource handbook, filled with practical strategies, ideas, and tools you can use the very next day to enhance your programming and meet the needs of your students. You will leave this seminar re-energized, less stressed and ready to structure your program to meet the mental health needs of all students.
As a school counselor, I know firsthand how challenging our job has become because of the increase in mental health challenges our students are experiencing. My collaboration with school counselors like you, who are trying to support students who are struggling, led to the creation of this seminar.
Students who are struggling with their mental health may have difficulty regulating their emotions and behaviors. This can lead to disruptions in the classroom, as well as frustration and stress for teachers, students, and school counselors alike.
In this seminar, I will share practical techniques, strategies, and tips that you can immediately apply to improve the mental health of your students. I will also discuss how to create a more supportive and inclusive school environment for all students.
My goal for the day is for you to leave the seminar with a better understanding of how to support the mental health of your students and a toolkit of practical strategies that you can immediately put to use in your school.
Please join me to strengthen your toolkit, avoid common pitfalls, and leave with new resources. I am excited to help you create a more supportive and inclusive school environment for all of your students!
P.S. You will leave this seminar with lots of practical ideas and an extensive digital resource handbook to help you implement the strategies as soon as you return to your school!
