Building or District level leaders will use a systems perspective to examine the reasons their own self-care, as well as the social-emotional support of their staff, is important. Participants will discuss the impact mentally healthy staff and administration can have on school culture, teacher retention, and better outcomes for students. Participants will develop an action plan to apply strategies within their district which will encourage a sense of community, caring, connectedness, and meaningful communication.
