School Counselor Symposium

Prioritizing Self Care to Create Compassionate Schools

Presentation Information 

Danielle Nuhfer from Teaching Well

With more and more of our students coming to schools experiencing trauma, it is even more important to create safe spaces where they can learn. Students can learn when they feel safe, but creating that kind of environment requires the engagement and leadership of adults who practice maintaining their own well-being and can recover quickly from the challenges that arise day to day in our schools. Reducing and managing stress while increasing health and well-being is part of a formula for promoting a healthy school environment.

This workshop will introduce participants to the Teaching W.E.L.L. framework for increasing wellness and decreasing toxic stress and potential burnout.  Participants will learn and experience the framework, so that they can take these actionable strategies back to their schools.
