What barriers are families and students in your area facing, and how can they seek out resources for assistance? This professional development session will discuss what resources are in your area for basic needs and mental health issues. Participants will collaborate to generate ideas as to how schools and staff can assist families in this effort as we come out of the Covid-19 pandemic era.
Outcomes:
Participants will leave the session with a “shopping list” of resources that can be used to address serious risk causing issues, as well as a list of “lightning rod” contacts for immediate assistance and direction.
