PTA Healthy Minds Program information and link
The Carl Ben Eielson PTA is participating in National PTA’s Healthy Minds pilot program focused on social emotional learning and service learning. Over the next few months, we will be sharing resources on how to help your children develop stronger SEL skills along with activities that you can do as a family.

We are looking for 20 families to commit their time to participating in the entire program and provide their feedback through surveys. If all participation commitments are met, the Carl Ben Eielson PTA will receive $1,000. Families who complete the program will receive a $50 Bell Bank Visa gift card for participating. Fill out form
As the final part of this program, we will also be hosting a live in-person & virtual PTA Healthy Minds: Building Social Emotional Skills at Home session for parents and caregivers. Event date and details will be announced soon!

CONNECT & SUPPORT COUNSELING
Fargo Public Schools (FPS) is committed to our mission: Educating and Empowering All Students to Succeed. While school counseling services are always available in the buildings, additional clinical counseling is available to support the mental wellbeing of students and staff through the Elementary and Secondary Schools Emergency Relief (ESSER) funding. In partnership with Together Counseling, the Connect and Support Program provides counseling services for coping skills, wellness strategies, time management, family conflict, and stress reduction.
The Connect and Support Program is available to any K - 12 student or district employee and offers 30-minute tele-health sessions with a professional counselor before or after school or during an off-period. Sessions are customized to the needs of each client and are intended to be short-term, not exceeding ten sessions annually. The sessions are completely confidential and free of charge to Fargo Public Schools students and employees.
To set up an appointment, contact Tina, the Together Counseling Provider Relations Coordinator, at 701.404.0997 or tinaj@togethercounselinggroup.com.
Educating and empowering all students to succeed includes supporting and enhancing the social and emotional wellbeing of Fargo Public Schools students and staff. We are grateful to partner with Together Counseling to provide these services to our school family.
