We are excited to bring our first Mental Wellness Fair to Spotsylvania County Public Schools! We’ll host our first “Adopt A School” Mental Health Fair at Chancellor Middle School.
What is more exciting? We have opportunities to send 810 kids home over the summer break with tools that will keep them in a positive mindset. We want every kid to know they are important and they each have a voice.
DID YOU KNOW:
*Over 1 in 10 youth in the U.S. are experiencing depression that is severely impairing their ability to function at school or work, at home, with family, or in their social life.
*Only 28% of youth with severe depression receive some consistent treatment.
* Only .718 percent of students are identified with emotional disturbance for an individualized education program (IEP). IEPs, with sufficient resources for schools and teachers, are critical for ensuring that youth with disabilities can receive the individualized services, support, and accommodations to succeed in a school setting
We know these are startling facts. However, they are facts and we as a community can do better by helping to break these stigmas associated with Mental Health.
