In this program for educators and student support staff, we will look at how students with depression and anxiety present in the classroom. We will cover: the characteristics of depression and anxiety; the emotional presentation versus the behavior; ways to teach children to understand their own emotions; and practical strategies to use in the classroom to help students regulate their emotions.
