Botetourt County Public Schools are placing a renewed 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 to help fund online mental health resources for parents and students. This contribution is part of a grant aimed at providing mental health support to at-risk youth in the community.
The Rotary Club believes that involving families in the treatment process is crucial in supporting the mental health needs of children. Dr. Angie Anderson, a member of the Rotary Club and a mental health professional, emphasizes the importance of parental involvement. She notes that parental involvement is key to the success of interventions for children facing mental health challenges.
To access these online resources, parents and students can visit the designated website, which offers coaching services and answers to common mental health questions. These resources not only provide valuable information and support but also serve as a tool to promote awareness and understanding of mental health issues in the community. By making these resources readily accessible, Botetourt County Public Schools aim to empower families to support their children’s mental health needs effectively.
