I have had the opportunity to present to several teachers in the district on Mental Health of Children and Youth.
I thought it would be a good idea to do a blog post that lists some of the resources I have mentioned in my trainings, just in case you have lost that USB or you are new to the district and are looking for resources.
If you have any questions or have specific mental health questions please feel free to email me
