How to Reduce Student Academic Stress and Improve School Climate (Elizabeth Warner Hansen)


Listen Later

In this episode, Anjana and Anya, two high school students from New Jersey, discuss their program 'Connected'

aimed at promoting awareness of the mental health struggles that often accompany the academic pressures that high achieving secondary students sometimes
feel.


Anjana and Anya share their experiences and insights on creating this high school public awareness campaign and discuss how their work has inspired peer scholars

to prioritize their mental health wellbeing.


Anjana and Anya emphasize the importance of students developing time management skills and not overextending

themselves academically and/or in other activities. They also highlight the potential for increasing the number of students supporting their campaign and connecting
their organization/campaign with other schools and organizations to further their mission to reduce academic stress.


Liz Warner, Co-Founder of the School Culture and Climate Initiative (SCCI), also discusses the work that SCCI does within schools to increase opportunities, such as those experienced by Anjana and Anya, to develop student leadership capabilities which, in turn, can have an overall positive impact on school culture and climate.
