Positive Psychology in Education
This month I had the opportunity to give a speech on positive mental health practices to 700 people at the Greater Essex County District School Board in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.
Audience Members
The audience was comprised of education support staff and front line workers, including Education Assistants, Child and Youth Care Workers, Developmental Services Workers, Teachers, Social Workers, Psychologists, and Principals.

Community Collaboration
Dr. Marc Crundwell, the chief psychologist with the school board, and I began working on this event on March 23. Which is why I am excited to share a video of the presentation with you today.
It’s been a long time in the making!

Surprised and Delighted
The best part is that I found out moments before the speech that several students that I taught years earlier at St. Clair College would be in the audience.
Ripple Effect
Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean.
