Today you’re going to learn EXACTLY how you can improving teaching method to help improving the mental health of your students (step-by-step).

In fact, in this video, I’m going to share with you an area of professional development for teachers that shouldn’t be ignored.

With that, here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:

Mental health is a topic that’s gaining more attention in society. It’s much needed and long overdue attention. The alarming statistics around youth suicide paint a bleak picture for the United States. Schools are trying to address it and teach students how to be mentally well. But it’s also important that you as a teacher or administrator focuses on your mental wellness as well. When you do, you inspire your students to follow in your behavior.

I was that kid in your class that’s always causing you a headache. The one that is constantly acting up and crossing the line. I had mental health challenges, was expelled from multiple schools, hospitalized for my mental health, and even attempted suicide. It’s a good reminder that you never really know what’s going on behind the scenes.

When I do professional development for teacher workshops, I share my personal story so you can see what’s behind the behavior. This can give you a new perspective for interacting with and helping your students going forward.

It’s also important that you address your own mental health. Teaching is a stressful position and one that requires you to have a lot of self-awareness when interacting with your students and coworkers. My sessions address all of this.

In short, this video will show you actionable ways that you and your school can be helped by a professional development session on mental health in 2019.

Today you’re going to learn EXACTLY how to diversity and inclusion are influenced by mental health.

In fact, in this video, I’m going to explain why I think that mental health should be addressed as the foundation of diversity and inclusion efforts in the workplace.

With that, here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:

Diversity and Inclusion is a popular topic that’s frequently making headlines. Companies are doing their best with diversity and inclusion training to address things like stereotypes and biases in order to make sure everyone feels included and supported.

But I would argue that something is still missing and that thing is addressing the mental health of those in the workplace. I believe that mental health is the forgotten part of D&I. And to really succeed with diversity and inclusion best practices, we need to make mental health awareness the base of it. Here’s why:

People challenges and mental health challenges go hand-in-hand
Delegation efforts are impacted by your mental health and unknown biases
Addressing your mental health helps you become more self-aware which is a key to fixing diversity and inclusion in the workplace
Fear of offending others can stem from stereotypes and biases we don’t realize that we have

There is a mistaken belief that therapists are just for those struggling with a diagnosed mental health disorder. In reality, a therapist can help in many ways as I discuss in the video.

Mental health impacts both productivity and profitability. Making sure that your people are emotionally well will go a long way in helping you get your diversity and inclusion efforts off the ground.

In short, this video will give you a few actionable ways that you can address mental health to improve D&I efforts.
