via Zoom
Core Connects RI and JCDSRI invite the community to join Andrea Katzman, Head of School at JCDSRI, in conversation with Dr. Elizabeth Englander, who will address helping our children with learning, screen time, and their mental health during this pandemic.
Dr. Elizabeth Englander is the Executive Director and Founder of Massachusetts Aggression Reduction Center and Professor of Psychology, Bridgewater State University, which delivers programs, resources, and research for the state of Massachusetts and nationwide. As a researcher and a professor of psychology for 25 years, she is a nationally recognized expert in the areas of bullying and cyberbullying, childhood causes of aggression and abuse, and children’s use of technology. During the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, Dr. Englander’s work has focused on helping children and schools promote strong mental health and social relationships in the face of sustained social isolation and rising depression and anxiety in children. During 2020, she authored and published two books, one for schools (When The Kids Come Back) and another for children aged 8-11 years old (The Insanely Awesome Pandemic Playbook: A Humorous Mental Health Guide For Kids), which also features a supplemental guide for teachers and parents.
She has also written a variety of research-based curricula and educational handouts for communities and professionals.
