Community Foundation awards grants
Recipients and projects are:
Monroe County Intermediate School District received $68,650 from the Monroe Health Plan Endowment Fund for supporting educator wellness.
Educational staff will now receive evidence-based training, psychoeducation on mental health upon hire, and a physical space in the school building to practice positive, proactive coping skills that will increase learning and self-regulation both personally and professionally.
“Though training is presented to educational staff around Monroe County, including Youth Mental Health First Aid, self-care for the school professional is often the last topic discussed in these trainings. There needs to be a paradigm shift in supporting educator wellness because if our teachers do not have the tools to be regulated, neither will students,” said the Community Foundation.
