Uncertainty might create a sense of discomfort in most people. For many students, however, uncertainties are creating an anxiety loop that feeds on itself. In this episode, Abounding Circles founder Sarah Snyder (LCSW) shares why students today have more and more uncertainty in their daily lives (Covid, social media, bullying) and how it leads kids to live in a constant state of alert. Sarah shares how things like coaching, wellness circles, and even yoga can help keep students grounded and their nervous systems calmer. 2

Collaboration between educators and parents is key when it comes to creating safe, nurturing environments for the kids within our schools - not least when it comes to helping manage their mental health and wellness. And though there is a definite improvement in the quality of connections made between many educators and caregivers, there is undoubtedly more work to be done.
Anne Moss Rogers, an author, trainer, suicide loss survivor, and one of the top motivational Mental Health Speakers for schools, joins Voices in Education to explore how both sides of the equation can make meaningful steps to improve their communication and overall student support. Anne Moss also shares her personal story as a suicide loss survivor and how that drove her to help other parents.
