Working Together: Families and Schools

When our kids struggle with their mental health, challenges can often have a great impact on their school experience. As parents it can be really hard to know where to begin. How do we take the first step and let the school know what is going on for our family? What are the supportive options that are available to my child? We might even worry that we will be judged for the difficulties our child is facing. Join us to listen to this video conversation featuring Victoria Keddis, a parent with lived experience and Ashley Ragoonaden, Principal at École KLO Middle School. Together they will discuss how looking at challenges from a strength based perspective can help us collaborate.
