KPS Behavior Specialists have created a six-week video series entitled "Essential Connections," which will be streamed on Facebook and YouTube beginning Jan. 18.

"Essential Connections" discussions will feature a variety of guest speakers discussing topics that support mental health and wellness.

Families were surveyed about possible topics of interest, and the Top 5 topics identified were: understanding mental health, family fun and engagement activities, problem solving, physical fitness in the midst of COVID-19, and self-care strategies.

The discussions will help define the essential connections between mental health well-being and educational success, while providing coping strategies for students, their families, and the community. KBSA will close series with Q & A session for the sixth episode.

"Essential Connections" will go live beginning at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 18 and continue every Monday through Feb. 22.
