In your district or on your campus, how are you identifying and supporting the social emotional needs of your students, staff, and parents? As many of you know, I believe, as a leader, we must focus on all aspects of a person, especially mental health and emotional regulation. This week’s guests, Jamie Peden and Kelly Starnes, share how they started to find solutions to improve students struggling with emotional triggers, empathy and resilience. In this episode, we discuss:

• Implementing Solutions as a Leader
• The Power of Stories
• Social Emotional Support for Teachers
• And the 3gStrong Program
