Mindful Practices
Facilitators: Vienna Webb & Anne Kasa
Mindful Practices has been a leading provider of SEL solutions since 2006 and curates content designed to improve the overall well-being of staff, students, and families.
This session will provide an overview for the certifications below:
SEL Certification: Whether you are an administrator, teacher, paraprofessional, or teaching assistant, you may be wondering what skills will be needed in your school post-pandemic.
We are here to help! Not only is this an opportunity to explore trauma-informed practices, mindfulness, and well-being, it is also a window to build a supportive community to manage educator stress and burnout.
Workplace Well-Being Certification: Relying on our evidence-based CASEL SELect approach, we used a human-centered design process to adapt the Surgeon General’s Workplace Mental Health and Well-Being Framework to reflect the needs of administrators, staff, and educators in schools today.
Every staff member deserves a support system that puts their well-being first. Join the movement to learn and apply nurturing well-being skills and tools, elevating your community. Learn not only how to support your own wellness but how to lead with collective well-being in mind.

Inner Peak AI
Facilitator: Sean Wheelock
Your students’ anxiety doesn’t conveniently peak at 10am on Tuesday when their counselor is available. Students need personalized mental health support 24/7, not at times that are convenient for us. That’s why I created Inner Peak - to be the resource I wished I had when I was struggling with anxiety, depression, and later substance abuse. After a suicide attempt, I gained new clarity around my purpose in life. I graduated from Harvard and Stanford and worked at 4 different mental health startups, determined to find a way to help kids struggling like I did. Inner Peak is the product of that work.
Inner Peak is every school's mental wellness safety net, meeting student needs when counselors can't. Our mobile application uses AI coaches to provide students with validation and support before triaging them to the appropriate therapist-created resource to help with any challenges they are facing. We also provide schools with crisis flagging and escalation and dashboards with critical insights on student challenges and wellbeing. Join our presentation to learn about ways to combat the student mental health crisis and hear about exciting ways to apply AI to support your students.

Heart Matters
How can we transform classrooms so that wellbeing is the priority?
What evidence-based strategies can we model and teach our students? How do we move from a reactive to a proactive mindset?
When children learn to understand, manage and express their own emotions, they can problem-solve to find positive solutions to everyday situations. Educators can begin using these strategies as early as JK.
Let’s change our approach and embed well-being into our curriculums.

Take a survey - Where are you starting from?

What does being emotionally well mean today?

How have things evolved?
