Mental Health Resources
Clarity 1-5 Minds
- Clarity CGC also created a Special COVID-19 page on 1in5minds.org to help parents and their kids, especially those who have kids with mental health challenges. It includes encouragement and advice about self care, supporting their children, and fun print-out tips and activities. Here's the link: https://www.1in5minds.org/covid
Online Resource for Teachers to Work with Students Struggling with Mental Health Disorders
- Realizing that teachers are under huge stress, Clarity CGC published a new online resource specifically for educators to provide information and resources to work with students struggling with mental disorders. This new webpage is the result of two years of collaboration with the H.E. Butt Foundation and Communities in Schools. In addition to topics on Mental Health 101, Common Issues, Helping Students, Helping Parents and Self Care, it includes specific COVID-19 information to help teachers adjust to the new situation.
