Chapman University\u2019s Attallah College of Educational Studies held its second annual \u201cImagining a Resilient Future\u201d conference, an event dedicated to addressing critical issues faced by youth in schools. While the 2023 conference focused on helping students attend school and thrive, the 2024 conference centered on enhancing support for LGBTQIA+ youth. The one-day event, hosted by Attallah College\u2019s <\/span><\/span>School Counseling<\/span><\/span><\/a> and <\/span><\/span>School Psychology<\/span><\/span><\/a> (CSP) program<\/span>s<\/span>, welcomed school psychologists, counselors, and educators from the Chapman community and its partner school districts. <\/span>Attendees explored new methods for <\/span>identifying<\/span>, un<\/span>derstanding<\/span>, and addressing the social, emotional, and behavioral needs of LGBTQIA+ students.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Imagining<\/p>\n

Led by Associate Professors of School Psychology <\/span><\/span>Amy Jane Griffiths<\/span><\/span><\/a> and <\/span><\/span>Kelly Kennedy<\/span><\/span><\/a>, the conference featured <\/span>various<\/span> presentations designed to help participants create supportive and inclusive school climates.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the opening session, \u201cHelping LGBTQ+ Students Thrive: Understanding and Supporting Mental Health,\u201d Kennedy<\/span>,<\/span> Griffiths,<\/span> and Attallah College Ph.D. student Rachel Torres discussed frameworks like Bronfenbrenner\u2019s Ecological Systems Theory and the Minori<\/span>ty Stress Theory.<\/span> Kennedy<\/span> shared findings from the California Healthy Kids Survey, highlighting the significant, positive impact of<\/span> creating<\/span> safe and affirming spaces in schools.<\/span> Griffiths and Torres focused on evidence-based interventions, equipping the practitioner-based audience with a wealth of actionable resources to support LGBTQ+ students effectively.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCreating a welcoming environment where students feel respected and safe is essential,\u201d Griffiths said. \u201cWhen we approach mental health support with an inclusive mindset, we\u2019re addressing the unique needs of LGBTQIA+ youth and empowering educators to build resilience in our students.\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Imagining<\/p>\n

The event\u2019s second session, \u201cCross-disciplinary Approaches to Supporting Student Mental Health in the Schools,\u201d <\/span>showcased<\/span> the importance of collaborative solutions in student support. <\/span>Griffiths and Kennedy <\/span>facilitated<\/span> the panel featuring<\/span> Sara C. Young, J.D., Ph.D.; Cynthia Olaya, Ed.S.; and Michael Gorse, Ph.D., who offered cross-disciplinary insights into student mental health initiatives<\/span>, <\/span>with a part<\/span>icular focus on legal changes and implications for school-based practitioners<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Chapman\u2019s<\/span> Attallah College is committed to preparing our future school-based practitioners with the resources and knowledge needed to build positive, inclusive environments,\u201d said Dean Roxanne <\/span>Greitz<\/span> Miller. \u201cThis conference exemplifies our dedication to ensuring that every <\/span>student<\/span> has<\/span> a supportive space in school to thrive.\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The day concluded with a presentation by Assistant Professor of School Psychology <\/span><\/span>Zachary Maupin<\/span><\/span><\/a> as <\/span><\/span>he shared resources available for practitioners and families. All attendees received electronic access to these resources after the conference. <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Attendees also enjoyed raffles and giveaways of faculty books and Attallah College swag, <\/span>facilitated<\/span> by Instructional Assistant Professor of School Psychology <\/span><\/span>Jeanne Anne Carriere<\/span><\/span><\/a> and Assistant Professor of School Psychology <\/span><\/span>Anna Abdou<\/span><\/span><\/a>, with overall support from CSP Administrative Coordinator Hunter Esquivel. Attendance to the conference was free, but donations were welcome for the <\/span><\/span>Julian <\/span>Sadasivaiah<\/span> Endowed Graduate Student Fellowship in Mental Health.<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With each year\u2019s focus evolving, the \u201cImagining a Resilient Future\u201d conference continues to inspire meaningful change by equipping educators and counselors with strategies to address students\u2019 needs.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
