The mental health of educators is critical for improved outcomes for students. Currently, a major factor in decreased mental health is the stress caused by poor relationships with students' parents. This presentation examines and explains why parents do not have the "know, like, and trust" factor with their child's teachers. Educators will have a different perspective on the reasons they may not have the "know, like, and trust" factor for and from their students' parents. Participants will learn strategies to implement immediately upon return to their school on how to foster the "know, like, and trust" factor for improved relationships and better mental health.
