NURTURING SUSTAINABLE GROWTH

Continuous Improvement for the Whole Child, Whole School, Whole Community

JANUARY 8, 2027 | 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM

KRANNERT CENTER AT BERRY COLLEGE

Nurturing sustainable school-based mental health systems through collaborative partnerships.

The Northwest Georgia RESA 2nd Annual Mental Health Awareness Forum brings together multi-disciplinary teams to explore, scale, and sustain continuous improvement in mental health and wellness support in our school communities.

Grounded in the Interconnected Systems Framework (ISF), this experience aims to align social-emotional, behavioral, wellbeing, and academic systems so that every student and staff member thrives in a supportive learning environment.

Continuous improvement requires cultivating adult capacity first. When we support educator wellbeing, we lay the bedrock for student success.
