Mental Health, Mental Illness, and SEL: Matching Strategies and Areas of Concern

In this webinar, co-hosted by the Forum for Youth Investment, Robert Sherman will explore fundamental differences in the frameworks of mental health, SEL and mental illness, stigmas which continue to stand in the way of our support for each, and concrete policy and practice suggestions for schools and districts.

Alena Zachery-Ross, superintendent of Ypsilanti (Mich.) Community Schools, will respond to Sherman’s framing and share the connections to the work underway in her district. Ypsilanti Community Schools serves just under 4,000 students in preschool through 12th grade.
