This unprecedented time has highlighted something we’ve always known at Kognito: educators play a critical role in society that extends far beyond education. Thank you for adapting, re-adapting, learning, leading, and continuing to prioritize mental health as COVID-19 creates new challenges.

To celebrate your incredible contributions, we invite you to join us for the 2020 Kognito Education Awards on October 6th at 2pm EST. These awards acknowledge those in K-12 and higher education who have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to supporting student mental health. We will announce the winners live as well as feature guest speakers who will share best practices as we move forward.
