Key Learnings from 18 years of Discussing School Mental Health at CHA
How do we build safer, more emotionally supportive schools in uncertain times? In a powerful presentation from Cambridge Health Alliance’s Continuing Education conference, Dr. Nancy Rappaport shares the most impactful lessons she’s gathered from nearly two decades of leading voices in the field of school mental health.
This talk provides school leaders, clinicians, and educators with strategies to:
- Rethink threat assessments and build school safety cultures
- Promote restorative practices and trauma-informed teaching
- Support students with perfectionism, learning challenges, or racial stress
- Teach self-regulation and foster emotional resilience
- Celebrate “glimmers” and reconnect to our shared humanity
