Agenda Overview
Data Trends and School Assessment Survey
Kevin Fischer: Student Mental Health trends by the numbers
Kick off the Student Mental Health Summit with the Director of the National Alliance of Mental Illness – Michigan, Kevin Fischer, as he outlines current data trends and statistics concerning the landscape of mental illness specifically to Michiganders. Our interactive school assessment survey allows school teams to gauge their own programming’s effectiveness and identify areas of need.
Parade of Ideas!
Student and educator panel sharing the best of the best for student mental health ideas and programming
Our “Parade of Ideas!” session is a fast paced, idea sharing mega-session. Focused on providing as many school culture, environment and easy to implement ideas as time allows, our student and educator panel will rapid-fire the best of the best for student mental health ideas and programming.
Passion to Action! Planning for Success
The beauty of the Student Mental Health Summit lives within its linear focus to make tangible change in your school building. School teams work together to target areas of need through our school assessment survey and then attend breakout sessions to focus on addressing their self-assessed gaps…but what happens next? How will you take this new information and incorporate these valuable opportunities for your school community? Our Passion to Action session takes this challenge head on, showcasing best practice planning processes between administration and students to carry your momentum into executable programming.
Keynote Sessions
One silver lining for our virtual Student Mental Health Summit is the ability to record all keynote presentations for our participants to view at a later time. Divide your team to take in our powerful keynote sessions live and come back at a later time to take full advantage of each keynote address.
