Weekly Virtual Discussions
Council's weekly virtual discussions will be held on Thursdays, with two sessions to choose from: 8:15am PST & 3:30 pm PST. These sessions will be recorded and available for replay (private only) for a month after the initial meeting. Members unable to attend may email in questions before the event. Each discussion will begin with an informational presentation on a topic and a discussion afterward. Discussions will be approximately one hour long.
Weekly PDF Worksheets
Council members will receive weekly downloadable PDF worksheets to use to raise awareness and education on mental health and wellness topics in the classroom. PDF worksheets will be emailed on Fridays to members and will pertain to the topic discussed in the previous day's virtual discussion. These worksheets are designed to be completed in less than ten minutes of class time.
Monthly Educational Videos
These educational videos will discuss issues impacting dancers' mental health and wellness in a way that is understandable and relatable to dancers. A link to each short video will be emailed to all Council members at the end of each calendar month. These videos are only available to Council members and can be downloaded for future use in the classroom.
