Back to What?! Coping Strategies to Successfully Manage the Transition Back to School webinar

Join us for a virtual conversation about surviving the transition back to school with high-need children!

We will discuss the challenges associated with transitioning back to school for children and youth and their parents and caregivers.  We will learn “doable” coping strategies for ourselves and our children to manage stress and promote academic success. We will learn what stress reactions look like and how to develop increased mindfulness, support academic success and prepare for setbacks.

Participants will be able to:

• Identify common stress responses and impact on school performance;
• Learn three mindfulness techniques to increase resiliency;
• Explore strategies to support academic success;
• Develop a plan to manage setbacks

Presented by Nina Manganaris, LCSW, Deputy Director, Formed Families Forward and guest presenter and foster parent Ebony.
