Josephine Hunt - Teaching Our Students Resiliency through Proactive Support

This workshop explores the intersection of anxiety, technology, and student well-being, equipping educators with proactive strategies to foster resilience in today’s learners. Drawing from Jonathan Haidt’s The Anxious Generation, the award-winning documentary Screenagers, and the Wait Till 8th movement, the session highlights the impact of digital overexposure, overscheduling, and societal pressures on student mental health. Through practical, research-based approaches, participants will examine how to build emotional regulation, promote healthy digital habits, and integrate social-emotional learning (SEL) into daily classroom practices.
