Social and Emotional Wellness Resources
-
Schools and communities across the nation are struggling to meet the complex mental health and wellness needs of students and their families. This one-stop webpage is intended to serve as a repository of resources for school personnel who are looking for solutions to their local needs. This resource map will continue to be developed over time by a representative Social and Emotional Wellness Committee and organized within a multi-tiered system. It will include information on the evidence-based assessments, programs, curriculum, consultants, and trainers available regionally to help build a sustainable, healthy social and emotional environment for students and staff.
The Social and Emotional Wellness Committee of the CSIU Region came together early in 2019 in response to a growing need to support area districts and their communities in the following areas:
- Crisis training and response teams
- Suicide prevention and response
- Trauma-informed school models
- MTSS systems of support for mental health
- Social and emotional learning professional development and support
The S&EW committee meets monthly at the CSIU and is facilitated by Bernadette Boerckel, Director of Community Outreach.
