The Kids Who Aren't OK

Join colleagues for a collaborative book study of The Kids Who Aren’t Okay The Urgent Case for Reimagining Support, Belonging, and Hope in Schools, where participants will explore Ross Greene’s evidence-based approach to understanding and supporting students with behavioral, social, emotional, and mental health challenges.
