The SMHS is back for 2023!
Virtual Program: September 28th
Since its inception back in 2019, MASSP’s Student Mental Health Summit has worked with almost 4,000 educators and students in the development of school based resources and programming around this crucial topic. Facilitating this event in a virtual capacity allows the most school teams to listen, learn and develop student-centered programming to proactively address the biggest needs of your students and staff. We will be faced with new educational and personal challenges on the horizon, specifically regarding student mental health. The SMHS seeks to provide a unique opportunity for building principals, counselors, student leadership advisers and student leaders to come together to discuss and seek solutions for student mental health concerns impacting our schools.
What Will It Look Like?
VIRTUAL STUDENT MENTAL HEALTH SUMMIT
IT’S A STUDENT TAKE OVER! This year we have raised the bar on student voice and have enlisted some of the most passionate students in Michigan to help guide our discussions! This year’s SMHS planning committee was led by the Michigan Student Board of Delegates to ensure proper collaboration and insight from the student lens remains our main focus. From student emcees, breakout discussion panels and student centered programming, students are leading the way during the ’23 SMHS! Student attendees will feel right at home, working alongside educators and peers to make our school communities healthy and happy places to learn and grow.
Mental health and wellness remains one of the top educational priorities for our student and educators alike. In an effort to remove as many barriers as possible to this impactful conference, we have moved this program to a virtual space. Our goal is to spotlight critical areas of content, curriculum, and school based programs that every interested student or educator can access, regardless of where you live in Michigan. MASSP’s Virtual Student Mental Health Summit will provide the same incredible content, keynote speakers and dozens of new concepts and programs to use in your school building. Our virtual program also allows all participants to view every recorded keynote presentation and breakout session, as opposed to selecting from a series of concurrent presentations.
SMHS+ (two additional webinars included!)
All Student Mental Health Summit registrations also include two follow-up webinars (SMHS+ webinars in January and May.) Adding new school-wide programs and additional goals to an already busy plate can be difficult to manage. Knowing that our SMHS provides many resources and initiatives that schools will want to implement, our SMHS+ webinars will focus on expanding these key concepts from our September summit, but also create space for additional support and progress monitoring throughout the year.
Capitalize on your momentum and help create the very best environment for your staff and students with SMHS+.
