Emotional Health of our Children and Impacts on Education

Welcome to Our Own Voices Live with your hosts:  Angela Thomas and Rodney Smith.
Our special guest is Dr. Douglas Garner

We continue to discuss a groundbreaking conversation and series of discussions with Dr. Douglas Garner on Our Children’s Emotional Health and the Modern School System.

Some of the topics we plan to cover are:

We will explore the long term affects of stress on our youth’s mental development and expression.

We will highlight how the breakdown of the nuclear family has forever changed the teacher, student and parent dynamic in the classroom.

We will use a UNLV THE LINCY INSTITUTE ISSUE BRIEF as a guide in the discussion titled:

 How are the Children:
Challenges and Opportunities in Improving Children’s Mental Health
RAMONA W. DENBY, PH.D.
SANDRA OWENS, PH.D.
SARAH KERN, B.A., MSW CANDIDATE

If you have questions you want to discuss with Dr. Garner please ask them in advance so the doctor can research data to back up his answers.  We would love to hear from educators, administrators, parents and students.
