Beyond Differences


Quality connections are essential to our physical, mental, and emotional health.  Beyond Differences offers three free programs to schools and youth organizations across the country that address social isolation and loneliness, including over 70 schools in Minnesota.  Learn about foundational strategies to address loneliness and social isolation that you and your students can implement to learn how to self-advocate and be an ally for others.  Learn about the implementation experience and outcomes from Minnesota educators who have implemented one or more of these programs. This interactive presentation will include resources and next steps to empower youth (and adults) to create cultures of belonging in their schools and communities, including strategies and tips for applying these tools during COVID and distance learning.  Beyond Differences National Programs
