On February 11, the Thelma P. Lally School of Education held a panel discussion titled “Supporting Youth Mental Health in Challenging Times.” We’re happy to say that we recorded the session and you can view it here. We’re so grateful to Dr. Claudia Lingertat-Putnam, Saint Rose professor of counseling, as well as our panelists Dr. Elizabeth Power, Saint Rose assistant professor of school psychology; Catie Magil, CAS, G’07, G’16, assistant director of special education, City School District of Albany; Esma Simohamed G’13, school counselor, Shatekon Elementary School, Shenendehowa Central Schools; and Jaymes White, secondary assistant principal at Brunswick Central School District, Region 4 Governor of NYSSCA, and a former school counselor, for sharing their wisdom.
