Staff Training
On any given school day one in five students will struggle with a mental health challenge, you are on the front line everyday in your classroom. As teacher, mentor, parent, cheerleader and trusted adult to your students, information is power. Training school staff on mental health is paramount to ensuring you know not only the warning signs but appropriate early interventions for mental health challenges you see in students.
Wellness Center staff have prepared 20 minute trainings to support what you see and hear from students, what it might be, how to respond, when and where to find additional resources and most importantly how to support positive mental health. If you're interested in one of these trainings reach out to your schools Wellness Coordinator

Classroom Presentations
Mental health staff present information to students in the classroom setting to provide them with ways to recognize signs of developing mental health problems, address the relationship between mental health, substance abuse, and other negative coping behaviors, as well as the negative impact of stigma and cultural attitudes toward mental illness. Because teens spend most of their day at school, it just makes sense to have mental health awareness and education become part of the curriculum. When we empower students with knowledge, and encourage dialogue, students will be able to get the help they need.
If you would like one of these or other topics presented in your classroom contact your schools Wellness Coordinator.
