Botetourt County Public Schools Enhance Mental Health Resources Thanks to Generous Rotary Club Donation
Botetourt County Public Schools are placing an increased emphasis on mental health resources, thanks to a donation from the Botetourt County Rotary Club. The Rotary Club presented a $3,000 check to the school system to help fund online mental health resources for parents and students. This generous contribution is part of a grant aimed at providing mental health support to at-risk youth in the community.
Dr. Angie Anderson, a member of the Rotary Club and a mental health professional, emphasizes the importance of involving parents in the treatment process. She notes that parental involvement is key to the success of interventions for children facing mental health challenges.
The online resources funded by the Rotary Club grant are available free of charge to parents and students. These resources include coaching services and answers to common mental health questions. By making these resources readily accessible, the school system aims to empower families to support their children’s mental health needs effectively.
To access the online mental health resources provided by Botetourt County Public Schools, parents and students can visit the designated website. These resources not only offer valuable information and support but also serve as a tool to promote awareness and understanding of mental health issues in the community.
The Rotary Club believes that engaging parents and families is crucial in supporting the mental health needs of children. They have recognized that at-risk youth need additional support beyond what schools can provide alone.
By providing these online resources, Botetourt County Public Schools hope that families will be better equipped to handle any challenges that arise with their children’s mental wellbeing. With more support from both schools and communities like this one, we can continue working towards a brighter future for all our young people.
