Child and Youth Well-Being:  A Webinar Series for Parents and Guardians  

CBE educators believe that parents and guardians can inspire their kids to make healthy lifestyle choices and increase protective factors – in order to do so, they need the right tools and information. 

Well-being is a precondition for learning. As our understanding of student well-being continues to evolve, it is important for those that support children and youth to stay up to date on the same information so everyone can support student success.   

The intention of the series is to advance student well-being by raising family and caregiver’s understanding of a variety of health-related topics.
