Minneapolis, April 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Jostens, the nation\u2019s leading provider of custom class jewelry, graduation products, and yearbooks serving the K-12 and college education markets, is helping schools and families cope with COVID-era mental health challenges through a new video curriculum freely available this spring and a global virtual conference coming this summer.<\/p>\n

\n Courageous Conversations<\/i> is a free 21-episode series delivering testimonial-based videos and discussion guides for students, parents, and school staff.\u00a0 The new series from Jostens Renaissance Education covers physical and mental wellness topics ranging from self-care to screen time.\u00a0 An equal number of episodes have been produced for and by students, educators, and parents, and are being posted daily throughout the month of April at jostensrenaissance.com<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cVideo is an engaging teaching and learning tool for schools and families alike,\u201d said Dr. Phillip Campbell, Sr. Manager of Jostens Renaissance Education and Courageous Conversations<\/i> co-host.\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019re inspired by the students, staff, and parents who courageously stepped up to share their stories with us, and we\u2019re honored to provide access to anybody who can benefit from hearing them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe see so many students, and adults who care for them, struggling with social-emotional impacts of COVID that feel ashamed to ask for help,\u201d said Sara Nilles, Educational Consultant with Work2BeWell who contributed a Courageous Conversation<\/i> episode for parents.\u00a0 \u201cThese free episodes can be great ways to get people talking and seeking the resources they might need.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jostens will also be providing an arena for educators and students to access inspiration and tools promoting social-emotional wellness this summer at its annual Jostens Renaissance National Conference.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cFor over 25 years, our Renaissance National Conference has equipped staff and student leaders to address their most pressing issues of school culture,\u201d \u00a0said Jostens CEO Michael Burgess.\u00a0 \u201cWe surveyed schools across the country to develop the content for this year\u2019s conference, and it was clear that issues of mental health, resilience, and motivation were of utmost importance.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

This year’s conference features keynote speakers from education leaders around the world and separate breakout tracks for educators and students, based on their interests and expressed needs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Similar to last year, the worldwide Jostens Renaissance Virtual Conference will convene virtually July 20 \u2013 22, with individual and school registration now open at jostens.com\/jrvc21<\/a>.<\/p>\n
