Mental Health and the Whole Student: Supporting Student Well-Being in K-12 Schools (CBL) Student mental health is one of the most urgent issues facing schools today—so what can schools and educators actually do to help? This course explores the connections between research, theory, and practical, school-based strategies that promote belonging, resilience, and emotional well-being. Through a community-based learning experience in DC public and public charter schools, you’ll interrogate educational justice issues related to how schools can support whole student growth, learning, and development for striving communities. Ideal for students interested in education, psychology, public health, or social justice.
