Educational Resources 

Join us for an empowering professional development workshop designed specifically for OST professionals. “Nurturing Minds” is a dedicated space to explore the critical aspects of mental health and self-care. Experts will guide you through understanding and addressing the stigma around mental health and its impact for both youth and educators. You’ll gain valuable tips and strategies to help manage anxiety, burnout, stress, and compassion fatigue.  Let’s come together to foster a supportive environment for ourselves and the youth we serve as we get ready to head into a new school year.
