COTA SUMMER INSTITUTE 2020
Theme:
We are excited to bring you this years summer institute.
Special Guests
Dr. Hayley Watson - Monday, August 31st Keynote
How teachers and schools can embed practical mental health skills-building into their daily interactions with students, and a simple perspective that helps them understand and relate to student mental health as well as taking care of their own wellbeing. The purpose is to inspire teachers to know their value and importance in the lives of students, and to start the year off with an understanding of how to manage the stresses of their role. Starting the year with this sense of purpose and support will help teachers feel more confident and less overwhelmed with the tasks in front of them.
