Description
Creating Opportunities for Understanding and Resilience Amid Gaining Our Education. The Project COURAGE team is made up of the Behavioral Health Coach (BHC), the Anxiety/Depression Specialist (ADS), Stress Management Coach and the Mentor Coordinator/Parent Educator (MCPE). The BHC, ADS and MCPE carry caseloads and meet with students on a weekly basis to work on self-directed goals, reframe experiences and provide support so the student feels safe and connected. Parents/guardians are contacted at least once a month to provide an update on services and assist family with resources or other needs they may have. All students are able to work with the Stress Management Coach in order to improved stress reduction skills through using mindfulness and stretching techniques. The goal is to support students with skills that promote attention control, emotional regulation, impulse control and provide techniques to help them respond to situations versus reacting. In addition, the MCPE recruits, certifies and pairs mentors with students. A monthly parenting education class is offered as well.
