Mental Health Wellness

Mental Health Wellness is a Priority in Our Schools!
  
The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) recognizes the growing need for additional supports and resources for schools to help address mental health wellness. A list of resources can be found on their webpage, Mental Health and Schools, at the following link:  http://www.k12.wa.us/MentalHealthandSchools/default.aspx.  
 
As issues with mental health continue to gain nationwide attention, we have been asked what local supports are available, how our schools are addressing mental health concerns, and how families can help. We hope you find the following information regarding staffing, partnerships, professional development, and curriculum helpful.
