School District Implements Trauma-Informed, Mental Health Focused Program--Wadsworth City Schools, Ohio Part 2

Send us Fan MailToday, Real Talk is graced with the presence of Erin Simpson and Joyce Walker from the Wadsworth City Schools in Ohio. They expose us to their trauma-aware, mental health focused  program, in part two,  of a two-part series. Grizzley Academy is not just another school, but an environment that nurtures family connections through values such as regulation, empathy, confidence, and compassion.  Mental Health and trauma has become an unavoidable conversation in the educational system and Grizzly Academy is ready to tackle it head-on. We'll examine how a supportive environment for both students and staff can be built, and the importance of  trauma awareness in molding this environment. We'll discuss how schools can be a catalyst for change, extending their support to families. Together, we can create a safe space for open dialogue and positive change.We'll take a look at the school's day, what made mental health a priority, strategies to building these meaningful connections between school and family and how they are cultivating a climate of trust within their staff.(We apologize for some of the audio when Erin is speaking)  You can find us at  Tina and Ann's Podcast website: https://podcastrealtalk.buzzsprout.comFacebook:Real Talk with Tina and Ann | Facebookor at:  [email protected] Podcasts: Real Talk with Tina and Ann on Apple PodcastsSpotify: Real Talk with Tina and Ann | Podcast on SpotifyAmazon Music: Real Talk with Tina and Ann Podcast | Listen on Amazon MusiciHeart Radio: Real Talk with Tina and Ann Podcast | Listen on Amazon MusicCastro: Real Talk with Tina and Ann (castro.fm)If interested, Ann's website:  AnnkagariseThank you so much for listening and supporting us.
