High school and college can be very stressful and that has only been compounded by the pandemic.  Join us for this timely webinar where moderator Kristin Plessel (University of Wisconsin-Whitewater) and our featured panelist, Stuart Slavin, will focus on:

  • understanding the mindsets and mental filters that are widespread in this population and that can contribute to distress, and
  • exploring how teachers can better support the emotional needs of their students.
