Another #MentalHealthAwareness book highlight from #dbcincbooks!
Through the Lens of Serendipity by @allysonapsey.bsky.social is about having a trauma-informed approach to every relationship.
Powerful read!

In #LeadingTheWholeTeacher, @allysonapsey.bsky.social asked teachers what type os support they most valued.
She identified 6 key areas and then created a project with powerful strategies to address all 6!!

I usually don't enjoy hearing myself talk 😂 BUT even I enjoyed listening to this important podcast topic.

More than ever, educators need hopeful and psychologically safe school environments. When teachers thrive, students thrive.
