GOALS
IT'S ABOUT THE YOUTH & HELPING THEM ACCESS SERVICES MORE EASILY
- Create an opportunity for staff from different organizations to connect and better understand the other resources that exist on each campus so they can better work together to leverage resources both on and off campus.
- Convene the school Deans of Student Engagement & the FSA Therapists making referrals and connect them with the organizations that will be working on secondary school campuses for 2018-2019 so that they have a better understanding of services when they are making referrals.
- Enhance your facilitator skills through team building activities and learn interactive techniques for engaging students on campus and increase opportunities to connect with students by speaking at their club meetings, classes, etc. (different than one on one counseling or support groups)
- [TBD] Overview of mental health referral process for students AND the school Crisis Response Protocol... Explain the process after a crisis/trauma... when Compassion Centers are convened on campus and Psychological First Aid response is utilized.
