The Connected Classroom

In a series of videoconferences offered by Cooperating School Districts, educational staff  learn about various mental health issues in children & adolescents from professionals at BJC Healthcare. Take a look at causes, treatment, and how to access mental health professionals if you spot children in your classrooms whom you feel need help. Sessions meet 4-5:00 pm CT; free to New Links members; $85 for non-members. Contact Rebecca Morrison at CSD if you are interested at rmorrison@csd.org. Thursday, March 12 is the last session of the 2008-09 school year, and the topic is Peer Bullying/Sibling Bullying – Making the Connection. Here’s what will be covered by presenter Lynne Lang: discover the connection between sibling and peer abuse during this interactive videoconference; learn to identify and address troubling behaviors that may be affecting your classroom climate. To sign up for this program-it’s next week- contact Rebecca by Monday, March 9.
