The Sioux Falls School District and Avera Health are partnering to strengthen families in the 2022-23 school year. Experts from Avera and SFSD will host free virtual forums once a month.
These virtual sessions on a pre-selected topic will be held the third Tuesday of each month at 6pm through a secure webinar platform. Your anonymous participation provides a safe space to learn about challenges facing today’s students and the resources available for help. The series does not offer personal medical advice but rather general information to build knowledge.
Whether you have children of your own, are curious about learning more to build knowledge in your classroom, or know someone who may be interested in attending one of these confidential sessions, they are open and free to all. Sessions will be approximately 40 minutes long. Recordings of the session will be posted for on-demand playback at your convenience.
Session dates and topics are:
- Sept. 20: Suicide Prevention
- Oct. 18: Anxiety
- Nov. 15: Digital Media
- Dec. 20: Gaming Addiction
- Jan. 17: Recognizing Unhealthy Eating
- Feb. 21: Vaping and Children’s Health
- March 21: Grief and Loss
