Educators from across North Carolina are meeting for four days of training on how to support adolescents and young children who face an outbreak of violence and other problems. The RISE Conference in Greensboro is sponsored by the Center for Safer Schools, part of the N.C. Department of Public Instruction. The conference’s title acronym stands for resiliency, information, support and empowerment. Sessions will deal with bullying, suicide, opioids and other substance use among other challenges children now face.
