Free/Virtual: 🗓️ May 14, 2026 - Single Session Consultations: How One Conversation Makes a Difference Description: How can one conversation make a meaningful difference for a student? Single-Session Consultations are brief, focused conversations that help students, and the adults who support them, identify a clear next step toward positive change. Grounded in evidence-based practices, this approach has been shown to reduce distress and increase a sense of agency and direction, even after just one meeting. In this session you will learn what Single-Session Consultations are, why they matter, and how they can be used to provide timely, practical support for student mental health. You will walk away with a better understanding of how to respond in the moment and help students move forward. |
