Join me in a captivating conversation with mental health advocate Mandy Froehlich. We delve into the realms of emotional engagement and resilience, uncovering insights that will challenge and inspire you. Mandy shares her unique perspective on navigating life's ups and downs, emphasizing the power of positive emotional engagement and practical resilience strategies. Tune in for an episode brimming with wisdom and transformative ideas, guaranteed to leave you with valuable takeaways for both personal and professional growth. Transcript available at LainieRowell.com. About Our Guest: Mandy Froehlich is a distinguished mental health advocate, educator, and author. Her professional path started as an elementary teacher who loved technology. As her story goes, she became incredibly burnt out long ago when there were no pathways to healing. Nobody wanted to talk about sad teachers, or so she was told. Although edtech and mental health might seem like completely different topics (they're not), they were her life for many years. She was a technology integrator and then a Director of Innovation and Technology, but she was trying to heal from the stress and strain of the classroom many years after she left it. Her goal was to help other people and advocate for policy change. She strives to be the mental health advocate that she needed years ago.

Many of us routinely park our emotions at the classroom door by compartmentalizing our stress and anxiety. It turns out that putting on a chronic happy face is harmful. The impact of this practice is well-known among mental health professionals. We invited a panel to explore productive, proven alternatives. Follow Twitter: @5Silber @froehlichm @Jonharper70bd @bamradionetwork #mentalhealthawareness Dr. James L. Floman is an Associate Research Scientist at the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence. He received his Ph.D. at the University of British Columbia, where he studied the effects of mindfulness and compassion meditation on teacher emotion regulation and prosocial behavior with Dr. Kimberly Schonert-Reichl. Dr. Floman has three core research streams: 1) The assessment of dynamic social-affective processes (i.e., developing and validating EI and well-being measurement tools); 2) EI, mindfulness, and well-being training (i.e., developing, optimizing, and scaling EI and well-being-enhancement interventions for real-world applications); and 3) Affective neuroscience (studying mental training-induced changes in ‘emotional brain' function and structure). Sara Silber is an award-winning elementary school teacher and a lead mentor with 30 years of classroom experience. Sara has written two blogposts, for BehaviorFlip's Blog — “Social Emotional Growth Maps” and “A Teacher's Journey Through Hacking School Discipline.” More recently, she authored a chapter in the inspiring book Thank You, Teacher. Sara enjoys working with her students and helping them grow and become independent learners. When she is not teaching or planning she is finding ways to support her colleagues. She loves to share her expertise, funny stories and other things that happen in the life of a teacher. Mandy Froehlich is the former Director of Innovation and Technology in Ripon, WI. She also consults, presents and keynotes nationally on teacher engagement, edtech, leadership, and climate & culture.

It's no secret that teachers are leaving education in droves. So much so that it's causing drastic shifts in the ways schools will need to operate this fall. Some large school districts have as many as one thousand teacher job openings and this issue is only getting worse as post-pandemic educators are facing low wages, rising benefits costs, extreme student discipline problems, and polarizing politics. This is a crisis that has surpassed the traditional definition of a shortage. I have talked with several thought leaders about this issue, including Mandy Froehlich, who I met during one of Nicole Biscotti's Coffee Conversations on Zoom.Mandy Froehlich is a former elementary teacher, technology integration specialist, and director of innovation and technology for a number of schools in Wisconsin.

Her books on mental health awareness and educational engagement can be found on her website, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Edumatch publishing. Key Takeaways: Happiness is a human right. Build engagement through trust, support, and understanding what teachers need. Conversations containing emotion must always be done in person. Leaders must be explicit in determining how best to support teachers. Use the thinking protocol 1, 2, 4, and All. Organic conversations often yield the best results. Make sure you use different strategies outside of the norm to have conversations. The busier we are, the less time we have to be creative and innovative. Innovation is a teacher driven system that needs a positive culture and climate that takes teacher's needs into consideration. We need to get out of the deficit thinking trap. Schools should be about the feeling or emotion you get when you walk into the building. Successful education requires the leveling out of the inhumane practices (testing, data, etc.) with the relationship building and human aspects. People have to feel as if you know them as a human if there is to be trust.

Mandy Froelich spends much of her time consulting with school districts and post-secondary institutions in the effective use of technology to support great teaching, mental health support for educators, and how to create organizational change in education. Her first book, The Fire Within: Lessons from defeat that have ignited a passion for learning, discusses mental health awareness for teachers. Her second book, Divergent EDU, is based on an organizational structure she developed to support teachers in innovative and divergent thinking. Her third book, based on educator engagement and mental health, is titled Reignite the Flames which has a companion guide/workbook titled The Educator's Matchbook.​Mandy is passionate about learning and her profession in general, but her two favorite components of her position are being able to provide professional learning opportunities and present/keynote conferences. She believes that by providing these opportunities to teachers, she is in turn able to reach many more students and ultimately affect their learning experiences. Also, on a personal side note, Mandy was insanely afraid of public speaking throughout her life until she reached college. At that time she took multiple public speaking courses to try to get over her fear of speaking in front of people to the point where it was silly for her not to declare it as her minor because she had so many credits. The ability to get up in front of adults (which is not the same as getting up in front of kids) and not bawl like a baby is one of Mandy's accomplishments that she's most proud of. Just another reason she likes providing professional learning opportunities, presenting, and keynoting.At home you'll usually find her talking to her family or spending copious amounts of time telling her dog she's pretty. Mandy loves coffee and has a hard time being friends with people who don't. Mostly, she has devoted her life to finding what makes her happy…and seeing others happy fills her cup.

Stigma Podcast - Mental Health

Play Episode Listen Later Nov 4, 2019 44:04


In this episode of the Stigma Podcast, I had a chance to speak with Mandy Froehlich.  Mandy is an educator, and personally, opens with us about overcoming PTSD, depression, and anxiety.  Mandy is an experienced educator who leverages her professional experience, and her passion for learning, to teach, train, and inspire other teachers to renew their excitement for teaching, and re-engage with their profession in an innovative way. Currently, she spends her time consulting school districts and post-secondary institutions on effective use of technology to support teaching, mental health support for educators, and how to create organizational change within educational institutions. Mandy has published a couple of books.  The first was titled “The Fire Within: Lessons from defeat that have ignited a passion for learning” – where she discusses the idea of mental health awareness within schools. Her most recent book, titled, “Divergent EDU” is based on an organizational structure concept called “Hierarchy of Needs for Innovation and Divergent Thinking” which was developed to support teachers in innovative and divergent thinking. Mandy is also the host of a podcast, called “Teacher’s Aid” – which focuses on providing social and emotional support for the very personal challenges that teachers face. You can connect with Mandy and learn more about her work here: Her Website, Her Twitter, LinkedIn, Teacher’s Aid Podcast HERE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS WE DISCUSSED: Teacher burnout – We talked a bit about how she became a teacher, and how over time she struggled to stay motivated.  This led to a conversation broadly on teacher burnout and why teachers disengage, burnout, have a high attrition rate, etc.  This impacts the children and we dig into why on this podcast. The role of the school, teacher, and parent in acknowledging a child’s mental health issues –  We talked about this concept that as parents have begun to work more, with both parents having full-time jobs, the school has been forced to become a de facto parent for 7-8 hours a day.  We discussed what role the school, the teachers, and the children themselves play in observing and helping those who have mental health needs within the school system. Should teachers be talking about their own mental health concerns?  It depends on who they are talking to.  Although teachers should be able to be vulnerable with their students, oversharing can be bad.  It’s ok to admit when you may be dealing with something difficult.  Kids need to know they are not alone.  It’s also ok for teachers to admit their struggles to other teachers.  In a lot of ways, teachers are the only ones who really understand other teachers.  What will mental health help look like inside of a school? Some schools are implementing social and emotional learning as well as mindfulness into regular curriculum.  The schools that are doing it well are integrating these things into regular content, so kids are learning to self-regulate and read at the same time, for example. What if the parent or teacher isn’t pulling their weight?  This is very common.  It’s more common than everyone being on the same page.  Sometimes the MH issues are caused at home.  Not all MH issues come from the parents, there are other things that cause MH issues and trauma, but sometimes it does come from something going on at home.  Alcoholic parents, abusive parents, etc. This makes it much more difficult for the educator.  Any headway the schools can make is erased by the child going home at night or over the summer. We talked at length about this. Peer to peer support systems within schools – and at what age can it work?  We talked about peer to peer support networks within schools and how effective they can or can’t be.  We discussed at what ages it can work or makes sense to try.  We talked about how peer to peer solutions are good but are only one part of a bigger implementation of solutions.  We find that many kids have a stronger connection with their peers than adults, and when you consider that teachers have to report a lot of what they hear kids talking about, it is safer for kids to talk to their peers (and better than not talking at all).  On the topic of how early is too early, she says she has seen peer to peer networks work as early as 2nd grade (with adult monitoring and facilitation of course). We talked about stigma and compared the way children and adults stigmatize mental health issues.  Based on our conversation, it appears that children are less likely to stigmatize themselves or others and are more open to talking about their problems than many adults.  However, at younger ages, they don’t have the coping skills to deal with the issues that come up so they have to be in the right environment with the right oversight to have these conversations.

Mandy Froehlich is the Director of Innovation and Technology in the Ripon Area School District in Wisconsin and author of The Fire Within: Lessons from Defeat That Have Ignited a Passion for Learning. This collection of stories from educators describes how adversity is met with strength and everyone grows as a result. Furthermore, Mandy is a Google for Education Certified Trainer, ambassador for Canvas LMS, a keynote speaker, presenter, and PD lead.In our discussion, Mandy and I (Chris) spoke about the dangers of the stigma surrounding mental health and its specific detriment to teachers and students. Often, teachers are put on a pedestal - being seen as heroic (or for some, godlike) - and facing trauma is both unrealistic to account for, as well as dangerous to the psyche of "teacherhood."Furthermore, we talk about the steps teachers can take to ensure they are well equipped to deal with trauma in the classroom, as well as simple actions that can have drastic impact on students' lives.
