"Student mental health is the foundation for academic success, social development, and overall well-being. At the Sandhills Regional Education Consortium, we recognize that in order to create supportive learning environments, we must prioritize the mental health of our students and staff. The Mental Health Symposium is an essential platform for educators, mental health professionals, and community members to collaborate, share best practices, and discover innovative strategies that can make a real difference in the lives of our students and staff members. By coming together, we can ensure that every child has the support they need to thrive both in and outside of the classroom.”
