In The Field: Chatting with Ken Kafele: Part 1


Listen Later

Join me for this episode which is a part of the "In The Field" series where we speak with specialists and providers in the field of mental health who can offer insight, expert guidance and knowledge. 

In part one of this powerful two-part episode, I chat with Ken Kafele, LEP, BCBA to explore how schools and families can support children’s mental health through early recognition, safe environments, and collaboration. We discuss the power of psychoeducation and tutoring to nurture both academic and emotional growth, and examine how anxiety, depression, and cultural factors shape kids’ well-being and success.

Whether you're a parent, teacher, or caregiver, this conversation is packed with insight, empathy, and actionable guidance!

Tune in next week for part two which is the Season 2 Finale where we explore how learning differences, academic support, and Afro-centered education work together to help every child thrive. And of course we'll play a round of Robyne’s Random Reflections!
