We all know that collective efficacy has a tremendous effect on student learning and success. But what we don’t often consider is how collective efficacy can impact students socially and emotionally. In this episode, I’m joined by Nathan Wray, Youth Mental Health Speaker and Substance Use Prevention Coordinator, to learn about how reducing youth substance use is a collaborative effort. We'll dive into strategies that not only address the issue but also empower educators to stand together to help students to make better choices. I’m excited about this unique episode and can’t wait to hear from this energetic, passionate guest!
