The San Mateo County School Wellness Alliance continues to host weekly sessions for educators and school staff to provide them strategies to build community in their virtual classrooms during the COVID-19 school closures. The sessions also provide participants with the opportunity to build community and to share challenges their experiencing during these unprecedented times.  Carla Tantillo Philibert was the guest presenter on Wednesday, May 13th.  Carla, who is the founder of Mindful Practices Class Catalyst,  provided a light-hearted journey through her Pause Own it Practice (POP) Check method that can help adults and students move from dysregulated to present and calm. The School Wellness Alliance is already planning for the fall, so stay tuned for more information.
