If you missed this panel you may wish to attend the upcoming event on Feb 29 in San Mateo:
The response from StarVista's Navigating the Tides of Adolescence panel

the San Mateo Union School District, will present the next Navigating the
Tides of Adolescence panel discussion, featuring Julie Lythcott-Haims,

I appreciate this event but nothing is going to change until the school's stop assigning 3 hours of homework every night. Kids can't get enough sleep with one afterschool activity and crazy homework levels.

The San Mateo County School Boards Association is hosting a all day conference on mental health for school leaders in April. Community members may also attend this event. Go to the San Mateo County School Boards Association website for details. There is a fabulous line-up of keynote speakers. Encourage principals and other administrators to attend.

Actually finding ways to bring together peer and professional support is also a critical new frontier and its matter.
