Seven Keys to Effective Feedback - useful tips to
remember when giving students feedback
Mental Health First Aid for Adults Working With Youth
(.pdf) - a primer put together by Open Books based on Youth Mental
Health First Aid USA: A Manual for Assisting Young People. Included
is information on depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders,
eating disorders, psychosis, substance abuse, and attention deficit
disorders.
Teaching Tolerance - Speak Up At School: How to Respond to Everyday
Prejudice, Bias, and Stereotypes (.pdf) - a guide to
speaking up and having healthy dialogue in response to a biased
remark.
Mandated Reporter Training - Open Books recommends
that all volunteers working with youth become mandated reporters by
completing this online training. The purpose of this online course
is to help all Illinois Mandated Reporters understand their
critical role in protecting children by recognizing and reporting
child abuse. Everyone who suspects child abuse or neglect should
call the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services Child
Abuse Hotline to make a report, but Mandated Reporters are required
by law to do so.
