Learned Helplessness is a condition in which a person suffers from a sense of powerlessness. It can arise from consistent failure to succeed and is thought to be one of the underlying conditions of depression. This session will discuss how to foster learned positivity in your students so that students feel good about who they are. We will talk about creating a community of care, so you can help your students develop a positive identity through open conversations, feeling valued, experiencing supportive relationships and learning to appreciate others for who they are.
