This summer Montana PBS will host a series of virtual workshops for teachers to learn more about youth mental health from the Ken Burns documentary, Hiding in Plain Sight. Join us for a 5 part series to learn about youth mental health. We will meet using Zoom on Monday afternoons at 1pm-3pm starting June 12 to watch clips from the film and engage in discussion with peers about strategies and resources for supporting youth mental health.
Virtual workshops are free and open to all teachers who support K-12 students. Teachers who attend workshops live will earn 2 OPI credits for each workshop they attend and a chance to win prizes. Credit will be awarded for each workshop attended so you do not need to come to all of them to participate. We will NOT be recording these workshops since they are largely based on discussion and participant interaction. You do not have to have viewed the film to participate in the workshops but it is highly recommended.
