Brightmont Academy Speaker Series
In this informative session of the Brightmont Academy Speaker Series, we are joined by Jess Holly, MSW, LICSW; Mary Benson, PsyD, LP; and Maureen Rivord, MSW, LICSW — therapists at the Twin Cities CBT Center — for a thoughtful conversation on personalized learning and how to support students with a wide range of needs and goals.
Together, these clinicians bring a depth of therapeutic expertise to this discussion, offering parents and educators a practical look at how individualized approaches can help students who are managing learning differences, anxiety, or ambitious academic goals. They share strategies families and teachers can use to strengthen motivation, build confidence, and help every student reach their potential.
In this session, our speakers discuss:
- The benefits of one-to-one instruction for personalized education
- How to support students with learning disabilities, anxiety, or advanced academic goals
- Practical strategies for parents and educators to boost motivation and achievement
- How a tailored approach can meet each student where they are
This conversation is designed to empower families with the knowledge and tools they need to support their child's learning, address challenges with confidence, and foster lasting motivation and success.
