Resiliency Road Trip: Central Maryland

The “Resiliency Road Trip” series, led by Frank Kros, aims to empower adults to guide and nurture children by equipping them with practical and powerful skills to shape resilient minds. On September 4th, our third of six stops on our Resiliency Road Trip will bring us to Central Maryland at the Meeting House to host two free sessions:

• Session 1: Becoming a Mental Health Sleuth: How Educational Professionals Can Skillfully Assess and Manage Student Mental Health Issues from 2:30PM-5:00PM
  Witnessing student struggles with mental health can be frustrating. This workshop equips non-diagnosing professionals like educators and coaches with “Sherlock Holmes Skills” to identify common issues in children. Learn to recognize signs of depression, anxiety, and more. Through interactive activities, build confidence in communicating concerns and collaborating with parents to get students the support they need, fostering early intervention and a happier school environment.
• Session 2: Anxious & Depressed: Effective Support Strategies Every Helping Adult Can Provide from 6:00-8:00PM
  Recent mental health data reflects a significant rise in anxiety and depression among children and youth. This workshop offers valuable insights into these issues, equipping you with practical, effective, and safe strategies to support the children and adolescents in your life. There are numerous ways adults can support children without needing to diagnose or treat them. These “no harm” strategies are practical, efficient, and effective tools to add to your mentorship toolbox, enhancing your confidence in helping kids navigate the challenges of anxiety and depression.

Join us for one or both of these sessions in Central Maryland to enhance your ability to support and nurture the resilience and well-being of the children in your care.
