Safety and Belonging Start with the Brain!
Creating a safe and welcoming environment is essential for students’ social-emotional, psychological, and cognitive well-being. As school-based and clinical mental health professionals, we may have limited control over the environments in which students spend their days. However, we can significantly impact students’ sense of security by sharing information with educators on how the brain perceives safety and threats. This knowledge is a powerful tool for supporting students’ mental health.
Support schools in utilizing approaches that foster a sense of safety, nurture trust and belonging, and encourage students to face challenges with curiosity instead of fear. Empower educators and students in discovering that they can manage difficult situations, ultimately supporting their overall well-being.
