Part II has an updated description as follows:
The Student Services/Prevention and Wellness Team has developed a toolkit to help schools respond to mental health issues among students. The toolkit includes background information, a unit of instruction for health education classes, and a system for pupil services staff to work with educators to reduce the barriers presented by mental illness. Action planning is integrated into the day. A complete copy of the toolkit is provided on a CD. The toolkit was developed by educators and mental health professionals, and has been through multiple reviews and piloting.
The training is intended for school teams, and is most effective when health educators, pupil services, and administrators come prepared for action planning in their school or district. The toolkit is applicable in elementary, middle, and high school levels. The classroom curriculum is intended for students in grades 8-10. The activities are used as learning opportunities for the adults in our full-day workshop. Parents and community mental health providers are also welcome to attend.
Who Should Attend: Middle and High School FCE, Health Teachers, Counselors, Social Workers, School Nurse, Principals and Asst. Principals
Registration Fee (includes lunch): $50 for both sessions.
