&lt;p&gt;When we look at the mental health and well-being of children and youth, protective factors can help buffer against negative life experiences and support student wellbeing. When it comes to supporting protective factors, schools play an important role. In this episode we are joined by Silas, (a grade 12 student), Nathan (School District Deputy Superintendent) and Hasina (Associate Professor and researcher) to:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Learn more about what we mean by ‘protective factors’ &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt; Offer strategies for school professionals on how to support students’ sense of belonging and build supportive relationships with students at their schools&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;And share resources that schools can look to.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;See &lt;a href=&quot;https://omnystudio.com/listener&quot;&gt;omnystudio.com/listener&lt;/a&gt; for privacy information.&lt;/p&gt;
