Webinar: Recognizing Grief and Distress in Ourselves and Our Students
More than ever before, we are living in a time that we will be called upon as day school educators to address grief and distress in our learning communities. You are not alone. A panel of mental health experts with Dr. Robin Stern, Dr. Norman Blumenthal, and Rabbi Meir Mark advise us on responding to bereaved students, family members and ourselves; recognizing symptoms of mental distress and managing emotions.
