Stress in Students: Supporting Mental Health and Wellbeing in Schools

 

Students today are facing more stress than ever. Bryn and co-host Gail Markin sit down with Kyra Yung (student), Connie Easton (school counsellor of 30+ years), and Connor Gallik (Psychologist, BC Children’s Hospital) to learn about ways that school communities can support students in K-12 to navigate stress. Together they unpack:

  • signs of stress and the connection to student mental health and wellbeing 
  • why students are experiencing increasing stress and how they are coping with it
  • what schools can do to support K-12 students at the individual level, in the school community and at the system level to deal with stress in healthy ways 
  • when to seek help and links to resources for educators
