It was an honor to partner with champions at LAUSD as they embark on combating mental health by nurturing radical joy and healing in their staff and students. This wasn’t a one off keynote but a kick off towards creating the conditions for thriving!

[Alberto M. Carvalho @LAUSDSup]

The "Ignite the Joy in Learning" Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Symposium equipped 1600 educators with strategies to cultivate nurturing, emotionally healthy environments for @LASchools students.
