Learn about two successful strategies to engage youth in school attendance and achievement: the power of peers and the power of speaking their strengths out loud. Hear about ways that schools have bolstered support for students with mental health needs through peer education and action and the compelling story of one young person who was inspired to beat the odds and attain her diploma through one simple sentence spoken to her by a teacher.
This episode addresses the fear and power imbalances that can impact relationships between parents and system stakeholders such as school personnel and behavioral health providers. A parent and practitioners offer concrete suggestions about how these barriers can be overcome and explain the power of authentic family engagement rooted in strong relationships, humility, and understanding.
It can be difficult for parents to engage with schools when trying to meet the educational and mental health needs of their children. Learn about successful strategies to help both parents and school personnel bridge the gap.
