Fulton County Schools Mental Health Awareness Panel Discussion
Thursday, May 20, 2021 6 to 7 PM
It is possible to find a balance between life’s ups and downs and continue to cope with life’s challenges.
The past year presented many different challenges and obstacles that tested our strength and resiliency. The global pandemic forced us to cope with situations we never imagined, and a lot of students, staff, and community members struggled with their mental health as a result. Join us to hear about the tools and resources available that can support the well-being of individuals and communities.
Mental illnesses are real, and recovery is achievable!

Parenting for More Effect: Impart and Implement Part III - The Why
Stephen Walters, M.Div., M.A.
Licensed Associate Professional Counselor |
| In the book The Question Behind the Question by John Miller, we learn that questions that seem redundant or unimportant often have a deeper question or concern behind them. I think when we parent, and our kid’s present behavior that we do not appreciate, we need to take the same approach. |

Pandemic Persistence
Megan Barfield, M.S.
Licensed Associate Marriage & Family Therapist |
| Recently, we have begun to see how we as individuals, families, and communities navigate these changes and find our “new normal” as we slowly return to work, school, and congregating together, all while maintaining “social distance.” We have taken on more than we could imagine in this last year and the physical, mental, and emotional effects of COVID-19 are lasting beyond what we could expect. |

Brittany Glaser, M.A., M.Div.
Licensed Professional Counselor |
| Therapy works when people know that they are seen, not judged, and have space to truly see themselves and grow into who they want to become. Brittany loves walking alongside people when life has become overwhelming or they come to that difficult and brave place of knowing they need help. All people have the capacity to thrive and sometimes we all need help figuring out how to get there or what that looks like for us. |
