Silent Suffering: What to know and do for students with internalizing disorders
Not all students who are struggling show obvious signs of distress. Anxiety, depression, and other internalizing disorders often go unnoticed, leaving students to silently cope with emotional challenges that affect their well-being and academic success. This session helps educators and school-based mental health professionals recognize the warning signs, understand effective assessment practices, and implement evidence-based interventions to identify, support, and connect students with the help they need.
