Student Wellbeing
This interactive 90-minute workshop introduces the LIFE approach, a practical framework for supporting student mental health and suicide prevention in schools. The session is designed to introduce educators to tools and strategies to proactively:
● Listen with Care and Compassion
● Identify Pain and Suffering
● Foster Hope and Meaning
● Explore Safe Solutions
Through a blend of engaging activities, collaborative discussions, and reflective practice, participants will learn how to create safer, more supportive environments that foster resilience and emotional well-being. While this session serves as an introduction to the full-day LIFE approach, participants will leave with practical tools to address student mental health concerns and promote a culture of care within their schools.
