The CARS program offers targeted groups & universal programming to students within the school setting to foster social-emotional development. Universal programming is our primary focus as we believe everyone can benefit from mental health awareness and education. Our programs focus on topics such as social skills, emotional regulation, self-esteem, grief support, coping skills, family transitions, mental health, and more. CARS staff work directly with school leadership, teachers, and Family School Liaison (FSL) to emphasize and incorporate the importance of mental health & wellness of youth into the classroom and the community; as well as to provide appropriate referrals and supports for students. Further, we aim to provide professional development opportunities & information for school staff, parents, and community members to help increase the capacity of the adults who provide direct support & guidance to children & youth.
We value our relationships with multiple community partners who contribute to the success of our program by aiding in the planning & implementation of numerous events, emphasizing mental health within their own organization, and foster communication & support throughout the community.
