Join us for a night of discussion on how we can come together to make a impact in your community and have effect towards wealth and wellness in this upcoming Flu and cold season. 1 - Students Need Support More Than Ever It comes as no surprise that the pandemic has had a devastating impact on learning. Not only have school shutdowns, absenteeism, staff shortages, and quarantines caused huge interruptions, but students are also struggling with higher levels of mental health challenges, emotional distress, violence in schools and more. UNICEF has stressed how essential it is to pay attention to these issues, in order to avert the consequences of a “lost COVID generation.” So, what can schools do? The most important lesson is to not assume that our children are “too young to be affected by the pandemic.” They may be resilient but they are, indeed, deeply affected. 2 - And Adults Are Struggling Too It’s not just this generation of students who will need a extra mental health support. The challenges of the last couple of years have left many teachers feeling burnt-out and exhausted as well. Teachers were already overworked before the pandemic, but their jobs became infinitely tougher when they had to adjust on the fly to remote learning, staff shortages and widespread absences. This prolonged work-related stress has taken its toll on the health and emotional balance of many teachers and the results have been well-documented in various studies. 3-Find Long-Term Solutions To Air Quality Concerns While improving air quality within schools was already a priority, the COVID-19 pandemic has made this even more a concern than ever before. When the initial wave of the pandemic hit, a lot of schools put short-term plans into action to deal with the most urgent needs of the moment. While these “knee-jerk” responses may have been necessary at the time, it’s important to also think about long-term plans for improving air quality. Better air quality in schools doesn’t just help to reduce the spread of airborne viruses, it also improves cognitive functioning, reduces absenteeism and enhances productivity. Investing in a long-term strategy to improve the air quality of learning environments is an investment that will benefit both students and teachers for years. The good news is that there is government funding available to achieve these goals. The Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund was established in response to the need to upgrade school infrastructure to improve air quality after the COVID-19 pandemic.
