Goals
The goals of this committee are to reduce negative stereotypes and stigma around mental health for our families and students by:
- Educating about the importance of mental health through informational flyers, speakers, training, and movies.
- Advocating for better mental health support and funding at the district, local, state and national levels.
- Support each other with caregiver connect groups by identifying how we can support caregivers/families with disabilities, IEP's and 504 plans, BIPOC, LGBTQIA2+, foster care, multilingual and families experiencing homelessness.
Resource List
We recognize how helpful it is to learn more about mental health conditions, talk to someone in confidence or join a support group. Here is our NEW RESOURCE LIST for families and students to use. If you have any updates or suggestions for this list, please email us.
