It was an excellent session. I really think a session with faculty would be great, especially focusing on the re-setting of expectations for students coming back to school, and that there is an adjustment period that needs to take place

Iman and Kiran were terrific and offered great practical advice for supporting students and families through the various forms of grief.

This was very useful and I really enjoyed listening to both presenters (Iman and Kiran). They did an excellent job listening to the group feedback of what we wanted to know and spending more time on those topics. Also, they provided personal examples to bring context and case studies, not just theory, which I appreciated. I think this training needs to be given to all staff considering this global crisis. Not only counselors should be equipped with the knowledge of how to respond, but everyone.

This session was great, very informative. Enjoyed the sharing of examples. Felt Kiran and Iman were extremely knowledgable about their subject, would definitely like to see ACS use this resource for teachers, staff and students and parents.

Thank you I found the course very useful and it was good to hear how everyone is finding being in this situation. I loved the mindful session although it did make me cry a little .....maybe I needed that To help me sleep I have been listening to Reki healing music which has been very good for me as I had trouble sleeping.

You arrived at the perfect time... Valuable input and guidance. Thanks for giving staff the change to talk... think its very important to have a platform where you can be supported instead of providing the support. It's clear our staff needs that so I'm inspired to support them. Thanks so much.

It was an interesting training. For me, it was not much info added as i used to attend a lot of seminars and courses, but it is always helpful to follow up on any new course to stay updated. I believe it was a great opportunity to support ACS families with any struggle they can face; a time to share their feelings and experience. I know sometimes it is not so easy to share it but it can come with time for us as adults too. Maybe next session you will get more involvement, interaction from parents. I know that we accepted to be more flexible with the screen time we offer for our kids. My questions: How can we make it more beneficial? for the kids and for us as parents? Can the school provide/ recommend videos that can be appropriate to each grade division. Videos related to science maybe that can be in line with what kids needs to know at this specific grade. or videos to help kids understand more their emotional behavior.

Helpful if done consistently and with support . People feel that they are not alone in this situation and they get lot of encouragement from listening to each others' stories.
