New Workshop! Navigating Stress: Fostering Student Well-Being through Adaptive Coping Strategies
What does it really mean to “cope”? This session explores coping as a dynamic, system-wide process that shapes how individuals and communities adapt and thrive.

The Well-Balanced Student
In a high-stakes, high-pressure culture, parent and school expectations may have unintentional but damaging effects on students. Increasing demands may lead to unhealthy stress, resulting in burnout, disengagement, or debilitating physical and mental health symptoms. This workshop examines the tension that communities often experience over issues such as homework, grades, and the culture of competition, and offers tools for creating a healthier school climate.
Learning Objectives
- Learn how you can establish healthier home environments for school-aged children and adolescents.
- Explore how to reduce academic stress and pressure without sacrificing achievement.
- Examine how to increase students’ resilience, creativity, competence, and well-being.
The Well-Balanced Child
Join us as we discuss research-based strategies for raising healthy preschoolers and early elementary-age children. We’ll explore how to encourage autonomy, cultivate resilience, and promote well-being. We’ll share tips to establish practices in families that buffer against negative pressures that may interfere with healthy child development.
Learning Objectives
- Discuss research-based practices for healthy development of preschool and elementary-aged children.
- Learn how to cultivate more autonomy and promote well-being in young children.
A Healthier Approach to College Admissions
This research-based workshop addresses many of the important questions we hear from students and college counselors: What do college rankings really measure? Are students who attend more selective colleges better off later in life? What is “fit” and why does it matter? Participants will learn practical strategies to help reduce unnecessary pressure around the college admissions process and ways to support student well-being and readiness for life in college and beyond.
Learning Objectives
- Learn research-based findings on the relationship between college selectivity and future outcomes, including learning, job satisfaction, and well-being.
- Explore practical strategies to embrace a healthier approach to the college admissions process.
- Gain a deeper understanding of the value and meaning of engagement in college and high school.

FUNDING FOR STUDENT WELL-BEING, ENGAGEMENT, AND BELONGING
Many schools have accessed state, local, and community funding for youth mental health, professional development, or community engagement to support this work. In addition, Challenge Success strives to offer need-based financial assistance in an effort to support schools and organizations with limited resources.
