Botetourt County Public Schools are placing a greater emphasis on mental health resources, thanks to a generous donation from the Botetourt County Rotary Club. The Rotary Club presented a $3,000 check to the school system as 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.
