Come participate in the conversation, as we discuss a wide range of topics related to the health and wellness of young scholars here at the Robinson Center and throughout the state. Take advantage of the Resource Fair, connect with agencies and peers to build a stronger network for the gifted community, learn about research on the forefront of health and wellness, and share your unique views as students, parents, educators, and administrators.
Let's make a point of supporting our healthy young scholars!
• Cultivating Wellness – This theme will not only explore the definition, pursuit, and expectation of “wellness”, but also the ways in which “wellness” is shaped by parents, teachers, and peers. Topics for discussion may include anxiety, fear of failure, sexuality, living up to parents’ expectations, making healthy choices and decisions, depression, resiliency, bullying, and gender identity.
• Student Mental Health and Creating a Support Network for Wellness – Sessions focusing on this subtopic will address social, familial, and educational supports that serve highly capable students in elementary, secondary, and post-secondary education.
