- The team’s goal is supporting social and emotional wellness while building resiliency for students as they transition forward from years of online learning.
- These supports include a mindfulness Schoology page, mindfulness lessons by counselors, and various school clubs targeting student mental health.
- The group is partnering with various outside agencies and supports to bring regular support internally (such as regular therapy dog visits in the building – stay tuned for details!) as well as future field trips and speakers to provide instruction and resources to both students and families related to lowering mental health stigma, building resiliency, and improving social/emotional functioning.
