In this episode, we explore ways to support the social and emotional health of our young people during the pandemic. Our guests are Dr. Cyndi Telander and Dr. James Telander. This dynamic duo came to our school, PacBay, with distinguished careers as practicing psychologists and teaching professors. We are so fortunate to have them on our faculty team both in teaching and directing our social emotional learning program at the school.
