    Local area expert presenters’ sessions include:

    School Climate and It’s Impact on Social/Emotional Well-Being by Bonnie Hedrick, Ph.D., Director of Youth Mental Health Promotion, Mental Health America of NKY & SWOH and Andrea Barker, MSW, SBIRT Trainer/Project Coordinator, University of Cincinnati

    This session will cover the importance of school climate to the well-being of staff and students. Whereas school culture is the set of norms, values and beliefs, rituals and ceremonies, symbols and stories that make up the 'persona' of the school, climate is more related to what happens on a daily basis:  how safe students feel; how welcome parents/guests feel; how supported staff feel and much more. A positive school climate contributes to academic, social, and personal well-being for persons working and learning in that environment.  This session will introduce Core Life as an emerging practice for transforming/enhancing the climate of schools.  Participants will have a hands-on experience with the content of the Core-Life curricula.
