SAIS Webinar | Beyond the Counselor’s Office - Evaluating and Enhancing Mental Health Initiatives

Effective student well-being requires more than a strong counseling program—it demands a whole-school approach grounded in data. In this webinar, the team from Authentic Connections will explore how independent schools can move beyond reactive support models to build proactive, community-wide mental health ecosystems. Drawing on three decades of peer-reviewed research and insights from surveys administered to thousands of students and adults across the country, presenters will guide school leaders through frameworks for evaluating the effectiveness of existing initiatives, identifying gaps, and prioritizing evidence-based interventions. Participants will leave with practical tools to assess mental health and well-being across the full school community and actionable next steps for meaningful, lasting connection.

Who Should Attend: Academic Administrator, Academic Support, Assistant Heads, Athletics, Counselor - College, Counselor - School, Division Heads, Deans of Students, Heads of School, Inclusion & Belonging

Speakers: Nina Kumar, Co-founder & CEO, Authentic Connections, and Nicole Hager, Director of School Partnerships, Authentic Connections
