Workshop DESCRIPTION
8 Strategies to Integrate Mental Wellness into the Adult Basic Education Classroom
Recent societal challenges have triggered a well-documented decline in mental health. We know that when students master mental well-being, they thrive in academics and employment and become better learners, employees, and citizens. In this workshop, you will learn strategies for integrating mental wellness into the ABE classroom. Explore strategies for integrating wellness, prevention, and coping and learn how to integrate these tools into the ABE classroom to promote mental health and prioritize prevention and wellness competencies in the ABE classroom.
