Upcoming: Webinar #7, At What Cost? Defending Adolescent Development in Fiercely Competitive Schools, presented by David Gleason, Tuesday, December 7th 2021, 7:30pm IST.
Anxiety, depression and their dangerous manifestations — substance abuse, eating disorders, self-injury and suicide — are increasing student conditions in competitive high schools around the world. Paradoxically, most of these schools promote themselves as being committed to students' holistic development in academics, athletics and the arts, and in their personal, social and emotional growth. So why are so many students struggling?
In this webinar, Dr. Gleason reviews the various ways in which parents and educators alike are actually contributing to how and why it is that students are struggling. Dr. Gleason then offers realistic ways that adults can work together to create healthier and more balanced schools.
