High school students today navigate a complex landscape of academic pressures, social challenges, and the emotional weight of current events and climate change. Circle Up: Using Restorative Practices to Navigate Mental Health, Current Events, and Life as a High Schooler explores how restorative practices such as structured dialogue, reflective circles, and peer connection can support students' mental health, build resilience, and foster a sense of agency.
This interactive workshop provides strategies for students to process emotions safely, develop coping skills, and engage in problem-solving while connecting with peers and trusted adults.
