Parent University
Last week, we hosted our first Parent University of the year, and it was a valuable session dedicated to an important topic—mental health. Our counselors led insightful discussions, focusing on how we, as a school and a community, can support the emotional and mental well-being of our students.
During the event, the counselors highlighted key areas:
Mental Health Awareness: They shared common challenges students face today and how to recognize signs that may indicate a student is struggling emotionally.
Counselor Support: The team introduced their roles and explained how they work closely with students, parents, and teachers to address individual needs.
Strategies to Help Children: Practical tips were provided on how parents can support their children at home, encouraging open communication, fostering resilience, and ensuring a healthy balance between academics and personal well-being.
上周，我们举办了本年度第一次家长大学，这是一次非常有价值的活动，专门探讨了一个重要的话题--心理健康。我们的心理辅导老师们与家长们进行了深入的讨论，讨论重点则是作为学校和社区，我们如何为学生的情绪和心理健康提供支持。
在这次活动中，老师们重点强调了以下几个方面：
心理健康意识： 她们分享了当今学生所面临的共同挑战，以及如何识别可能表明学生正在进行情感挣扎的迹象。
心理辅导员支持： 团队介绍了她们的角色，并解释了如何与学生、家长和老师密切合作，以满足个人需求。
帮助孩子的策略： 老师们还提供了一些实用的建议，告诉家长如何在家中为孩子提供支持，鼓励坦诚交流，培养抗挫折能力，并确保学业与个人幸福之间的健康平衡。
We were encouraged by the level of engagement from parents and the shared commitment to prioritizing mental health in our community. By working together, we can create a supportive environment where every student feels heard and cared for.
Stay tuned for more sessions as we continue to bring valuable insights through Parent University!
家长们的参与程度以及对优先关注社区心理健康的共同承诺令我们深受鼓舞。通过共同努力，我们可以创造一个支持性的环境，让每个学生都能感受到倾听和关怀。
我们将继续通过家长大学为大家带来更多有价值的课程，敬请期待！
