As part of the Upper Canada College Casey Fellow Speaker Series, UCC is proud to present this year’s Casey Fellow Emily Larson, who will speak on mental health and wellbeing.
Drawing on her experience running wellbeing trials in over nine countries reaching more than 1 million students and teachers, Emily will discuss what we know about the impact of school-based wellbeing interventions, where the field is going and how to implement and measure holistic approaches to school-based wellbeing approaches.
