About the Webinar:
What we do matters. Research shows us that when we focus on mattering and belonging, we improve academics, resiliency and well-being for all students, including students with learning disabilities. When we embed the core principles of positive mental health, well-being, connection, mattering and resilience in every day practice, through a whole school approach, which extends to parents/guardians and the community to create resilient communities:

We provide students with opportunities to develop specific skills that will foster their social and emotional competence, happiness, and well-being.
We nurture strengths, build self-advocacy skills and help our students understanding their unique learning profile, strengths, needs, interests and lived experiences.
We create safe and inclusive classrooms and schools that support positive mental health and well-being for all, where all students and staff feel they belong and matter.
We create positive caring environments and relationships with students so that they feel connected, heard, valued, supported, and nurtured.
In these classrooms, schools and communities, everybody matters, everybody counts, and every interaction becomes an opportunity to promote well-being.
