When Additional Support Is Needed: Ensuring Student Behavioral Health & Wellness
Hosted by Brandon A. Cruz and Stephanie Marquesano, the harris project, with key partners from The Guidance Center of Westchester and Westchester Jewish Community Services

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the behavioral health and wellness of our students. Everyone is doing their best to maintain connection and offer guidance during these extraordinary times. 

The following questions will be answered during this session:

• What mental health and trauma-informed resources are available when support is needed beyond what the school can offer?  
• Are there supports for students who may be misusing and/or addicted to alcohol, marijuana and other substances? 
• How does telehealth work for students from elementary through high school? 
• How can we help our students and families navigate these resources? 
• What re-entry challenges are anticipated when students return to their school campuses?

Representatives from two Westchester agencies will share information about the trends they are seeing, details about their youth-serving programs (including LGBTQIA+) and the many ways they continue to support the behavioral health and wellness needs of Westchester students. They also want to hear from you, so there will be time for Q & A.

Audience: Co-Ser 644 members, BOCES Directors, Assistant Supts, Principals, APs, Pupil Personnel, Mental Health Professionals, Counselors, Psychologists, Social Workers, Health Teachers
