Goals

The goals of this committee are to reduce negative stereotypes and stigma around mental health for our families and students by:
  1. Educating about the importance of mental health through informational flyers, speakers, training, and movies.
  2. Advocating for better mental health support and funding at the district, local, state and national levels.
  3. Support each other with informal coffee chats, identify how we can support families with disabilities, IEP's and 504 plans, BIPOC, LGBTQIA2+, foster care, multilingual and families experiencing homelessness.
**Success will look like a school district culture where students feel safe when talking about their mental health and know how to seek solutions.
