This 60-minute session is a case-based discussion covering the process of assessing readiness for college, accessing accommodations, and preparing youth with a history of psychosis to transition to college.

This webinar will give an overview of work being done by the Military Child Education Coalition (MCEC) and how they incorporate best practices in their work. Following the MCEC overview participants will hear about a specific MCEC program called the Purple Star Initiative and what Purple Star Schools do to support military-connected children and their families. Following these presentations, participants will hear about the National Center for Child Traumatic Stress (NCTSN) and how MCEC and NCTSN are working together to form multi-tiered supports to ensure Military and Veteran Children and receiving the supports that fit their individual needs.

In this webinar, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) will define and discuss what child labor exploitation looks like in the United States and the ways that schools can help address it. Experts from the DOL will present data on the types of cases they are seeing, including young people working inherently dangerous jobs. Educators and school staff can be the first adults to be concerned about a youth being exploited in a work situation, so the webinar will highlight what roles schools have in identifying and intervening to get students out of dangerous situations. The webinar will also include a panel discussion to better understand the experiences of youth who have been exploited in a work environment and feature an expert with lived experience and experts working directly with youth in schools. The webinar will end with a live Q&A to respond to questions related to child labor exploitation and how schools can play a role in addressing it.
