Children exposed to stressors related to poverty can have significant, lifelong academic, behavioral, and health challenges. In this interactive session, participants will learn about stress as a mechanism of poverty, how to use gardens as social-emotional interventions, and how to use a social-emotional approach to student management in the garden and in the classroom.
