The cohort's workshops and training sessions have deepened my expertise in mental health practices, and being part of the cohort has provided me access to a wealth of resources and tools that can be adapted to our own district's needs.Jen Sahr
As the old saying goes, “people don’t care how much we know until they know how much we care.” Flashy culture programs won’t accomplish our objectives unless, as leaders, we demonstrate true care and concern for those we serve. A positive culture will support a focus on the mental health needs of everyone in the organization.Paul Imhoff
