Join us for a collaborative training opportunity designed for youth-serving professionals who would like to gain more knowledge about students with parents or guardians who are wounded, ill, or injured Veterans.
The experiences of these students, known as Hidden Helpers, often include caretaking responsibilities and unique circumstances that impact their academic opportunities. Increasing identification and support is critical in fostering relationships required for deep learning and instructional differentiation.
If you missed earlier sessions, Supporting the Well-being of Youth in Caregiver Roles and Who are Youth Caregivers?, you may still register for the remaining sessions.
Hidden Helpers are the children, youth, and young adults (up to age 18) who are actively involved in or currently impacted by the care needs of a wounded, ill, or injured veteran.
Project ECHO® for Education strives to establish a lasting, robust infrastructure for sharing educational knowledge and building the capacity of educators to close achievement gaps. The ECHO Model is being used by several organizations worldwide for capacity building and collaboration to strengthen education systems.
This program is powered by Wounded Warrior Project® to honor and empower post-9/11 injured service members, veterans, and their families.
