Community Workshops

Mrs. Dohdia presented a slideshow presentation that displayed her knowledge of her craft but also shared her life experiences with the students. She formed a personal bond with them right from the beginning. She engaged the students by providing them opportunities to ask questions they wanted to ask about the topics. She created a warm, inviting, and non-judgmental environment. Students actively participated in a red flag game where they raised a paper flag if they thought a scenario was a red flag. The students enjoyed the presentation and left with a better understanding of mental and social health. I would highly recommend Mrs. Dodhia to present to any school.

She emphasized that forming healthy, positive relationships helps children feel safe and supported as they grow up and being in an unhealthy relationship negatively affects a young person's wellbeing. She was quite concise about distinguishing between what behavior constitutes healthy versus unhealthy relationships.Students were engaged when posed with various scenarios and had to determine if they were appropriate or would raise a red flag. I truly believe my students learned some invaluable information that would most certainly serve them well throughout the rest of their lives.
