ISBE School Wellness Conference

This 60 minute session aims to inform the audience about the impact of toxic stress on mental health and explore ways to address it. We will discuss the causes of toxic stress, including adverse childhood experiences and socio-economic disparities. Additionally, we will highlight strategies to mitigate its impact, such as promoting positive relationships and providing access to mental health services. Furthermore, we will emphasize the importance of working together on a universal level to build resilient spaces that support children, their parents, and the communities they live in. By fostering collaboration and implementing systemic changes, we can create supportive environments for the well-being of all.
