Collaboration Circle - Education

The Heart of the Classroom: Student Mental Health and Belonging

August 4, 2026  - 12pm - 1pm - Zoom

The Parikh Giving Alliance proudly presents our signature Zoom-at-Noon Collaboration Circle—a one-hour, power-packed conversation held three times each year, with each session focused on a key impact area. Our annual education-focused Collaboration Circle brings together three respected leaders who will share their unique insights and perspectives, sparking a host-curated dialogue designed to deepen understanding and encourage meaningful collaboration.

​​

In recognition of National Back to School Month and the growing concern around student mental health, bullying, and the overall school experience this Collaboration Circle brings together three thought leaders in this space to take a closer look at what students are facing as they return to school and how those challenges are showing up in real time. From increased anxiety and social pressures to the lasting impact of bullying, this conversation acknowledges both the progress already being made and the work still ahead. Together, we will explore how schools and communities can continue strengthening environments where students feel seen and safe, and ready to learn from day one.

​​

Built for those doing the work—nonprofit leaders, healthcare professionals, and government partners—this session offers a closer look at how housing and mental health intersect in real life. You’ll leave with fresh perspective, practical ideas, and a better sense of how cross-sector collaboration can move solutions forward. Free to attend and designed with busy schedules in mind, this one-hour Zoom session fits easily into your lunch hour.
