Many of the physical symptoms children express and seek out the school nurse for are caused and/or exacerbated by psychological and emotional factors. This presentation will help nurses, counselors, and other school staff learn to:
-
Understand the relationship between physical symptoms and mental/emotional stressors.
-
Recognize the potential for the development of Somatic Symptom Disorders, and take steps to reduce this risk.
-
Respond effectively to such symptoms to facilitate student’s emotional insight and empowerment.
-
Discuss and develop practical steps to take in the school and classroom setting to reduce the impact of these symptoms on the educational environment.
​
During the '22-'23 school year we must charge a $200 speaker’s fee. Scholarships may be available. Your support for state funding will help us return to offering presentations at no charge.​
