FCPS Mental Health and Wellness Conference

We are just a little more than three weeks away from the FCPS Mental Health and Wellness Conference, which will be held at Fairfax High School from 8:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 29th. In addition to the conference keynote message, Using Stress to Your Advantage in Achieving Academic Success and Emotional Well Being, presented by Dr. Amy Przeworski, Associate Professor in the Department of Psychological Sciences at Case Western Reserve University, participants in the conference will be able to choose from 35 breakout options (many of these will offered more than once). We are especially excited that, for the first time, this year’s conference will include an Our Minds Matter Teen Summit, sponsored by the Josh Anderson Foundation. Students who register for this summit will attend sessions designed especially for them, including one session led by Dr. Przeworski. Along with the many wonderful breakout options offered throughout the day, there will be more than 50 resource tables available, representing public and private agencies that provide wellness-related services within our schools and in our community.

Thanks,

Dave
