If a child has a cracked plate, the child has very little strength to gain and retain academic knowledge. What happens when the plate breaks? What if we could recognize the crack(s) and intervene before the break happens? What You'll Learn - Learn the link between mental wellbeing and school safety based on the most recent research. - Recognize signs and symptoms of mental health challenges. - Discover ways to make every student feel heard, understood, and important. ## Request a Demo ## [Download Webinar Slides](https://get.rethinked.com/hubfs/475%20-%20Education/Files/LP/Amie%20Cumming%20Webinar%20Oct%2012%202023%20Slidedeck.pptx) ## All attendees can [download and fill out a certificate of attendance](https://get.rethinked.com/hubfs/475%20-%20Education/Webinar%20Certificates/WN%20-%20Cracks%20in%20the%20Plate%20Fostering%20Student%20Wellbeing%20for%20Safety%20%26%20Success.pdf?hsLang=en) that may count toward CEUs depending on your district's approval of courses.
