Beyond Walls: Innovating Spaces for Student Well-being
Thursday October 10, 2024 3:30pm - 4:30pm PDT
210D
Dive into the groundbreaking WellSpace initiative with us, an endeavor spearheaded by the Orange County Department of Education's (OCDE) WellEd team, in collaboration with Children’s Health of Orange County (CHOC) and other esteemed partners. Uncover the impact behind ""spaces of calm"" or WellSpaces, thoughtfully woven into school-communities to uplift the mental and emotional well-being of every student.

This transformative session goes beyond mere infrastructure. Together, we will explore how the initiative is tailored for our most vulnerable populations, including students and families experiencing homelessness and those in the foster care system. By offering targeted support beyond conventional school settings, we are reshaping the narrative of comprehensive support and curating environments dedicated to improving the health, well-being and educational outcomes of all students. Participants will increase awareness on developing spaces of calm within their school communities, and acquire information related to lessons learned, considerations, and practices to support sustainability of these spaces in school communities.
