CHADS Presentations

We are excited to have presenters from the CHADS Coalition for Mental Health coming to talk with our students about Empathy and Emotion Management this September. These presentations should help reinforce what students are learning in their Second Step social emotional learning lessons. Within the CHADS presentations, students will become familiar with understanding different emotions and how to process them in positive, healthy ways. They will introduce the Acknowledge, Care, Tell (ACT®) technique to help students seek out a trusted adult if they struggle with managing their emotions. Presenters will be visiting Team Water and Team Fire classes on September 23, and Team Earth and Team Air classes on September 30.

They are also hosting a free ALL IN Conversations for parents and the community on the first Tuesday of the month.  Click Here to see their full schedule. Their next one is scheduled for Tuesday, September 6, at 6:00pm, and they will be talking about National Suicide Prevention month and the Signs of Suicide (S.O.S.) Program that CHADS implements in over 200 schools throughout the St. Louis Metro and the state of Missouri. They will also be discussing trends in teen mental health and the curriculum used to help prevent suicide among our teens. Click Here to Register
