As educators, parents, and caregivers, we are all navigating the complexities of supporting children in an increasingly anxious and complex world. In order to deepen our understanding of the challenges facing today's young people, we’re excited to offer a parent book group exploring Jonathan Haidt’s thought-provoking The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness.
Join either Assistant Head of School Gel Vicencio (morning session) or Adolescent Programme Coordinator Emily Dowell (evening session) in an open, reflective, non-judgmental space for sharing insights and collaborating on strategies to support the emotional health and resilience of MST’s children and adolescents. SIGN-UP HERE.
