As educators, we are in a position where we can help students break out of cycles of anxiety, low mood, and peer struggles, without needing to be a mental health expert.
This book shows you how to support students with issues like low body image, bullying, addiction, and more―with practical language that you can use anytime you are on-the-spot with a struggling student. This language helps you set boundaries to protect your own well-being by guiding your students towards self-reliance and resilience.
In Finding the Words, author, clinical psychologist and Open Parachute Founder, Dr. Hayley Watson, offers practical advice with a personal, self-reflective, and relatable tone.
In each chapter, you'll explore the well-being challenges that students struggle with most. You’ll learn how to talk to kids about these issues in a way that helps them make positive changes in their lives.
“Always leading with the heart, Dr. Watson makes us stronger and wiser through practical and accessible guidance. In this guide, educators can find comfort in knowing that there are answers to hard questions as they navigate challenges with students as we learn and grow together.”
— Maura Papile, L.I.C.S.W., Senior Director of Student Support Services, Quincy Public Schools
