We’re joined by Robert Jenkins, Chief of Education at the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), and Leslee Udwin, Founder and CEO of Think Equal, to discuss how we can support students’ mental well-being and nurture social emotional development during this global pandemic.

Students around the world are facing increased mental health challenges as they continue to deal with isolation related to the lack of structure, routine and connection to community, as well as the stress of the economic fallout of COVID-19 felt by households everywhere. While many educators are focusing on getting the academics right with online learning, equally important is social-emotional learning across all age groups.
