TUE - Nelba Marquez-Greene - Love Wins: Rethinking How to Avoid Future Mass Tragedies Like Sandy Hook

Nelba Marquez Greene, LMFT has been driven by her family motto “love wins” and a desire to ensure her daughter’s life is remembered twice as loudly as her death. Her journey has led her to every level of government, media, and the public to increase understanding and awareness to prevent violence and promote healing. Nelba will share her journey and ways she believes all mental health professionals and schools can work to help prevent future tragedies.

WED - Paul Gorski - #FixInjusticeNotKids: An Equity Literacy Approach to Mental Health & Behavior
We best prepare ourselves to cultivate healthy minds, behaviors, and schools when we learn how to understand minds, behaviors, and schools through an equity lens. This means refusing to adopt a deficit view of students with mental health differences; it means learning how to see root causes of behaviors instead of responding reactively; it means understanding how our subtle biases contribute to behaviors we might demonize in students. In this session, we will work on recognizing and rejecting old understandings that impede our abilities to serve all students equitably and develop understandings that help us become a threat to inequity in classrooms and schools.
