Ep. 71: What Schools Need Now. An honest discussion about mental health, with Tim Dohrer and Tom Golebiewski

What does it mean for a school to be whole-child centered? What does it mean to be a mentally and physically healthy school? And more importantly, what do they look like and how do we get there?

In this episode, Brian and Kasey sit with Timothy Dohrer and Thomas Golebiewski and wrestle through those questions, discover real and purposeful answers, and gain a further understanding of what schools are and what they need to be.

Tim and Tom are authors of The Schools We Need Now: A Guide to Designing a Mentally Healthy School and are devoted to the improvement of how schools perceive, approach, and implement social and emotional health in their schools and surrounding communities.

If you are an educator, parent, or community member, don't miss out on this honest conversations about what educators and students need most.
