Botetourt County Public Schools have received a generous donation from the Botetourt County Rotary Club to prioritize mental health resources. The club presented a $3,000 check to the school system to help fund online mental health resources for parents and students. This initiative aims to support at-risk youth in the community.
Dr. Angie Anderson, a mental health professional and Rotary Club member, emphasized the importance of family involvement in mental health treatment during a presentation on the topic. She noted that involving parents and families in the process is crucial for the success of interventions for children.
The online mental health resources offered by the school system are designed to be accessible and practical for parents and students. These resources include coaching services and answers to common mental health questions. The goal is to ensure that families have the tools and support they need to address mental health concerns effectively.
The collaboration between Botetourt County Public Schools and the Botetourt County Rotary Club underscores the community’s commitment to supporting mental health initiatives. By providing resources and funding for mental health services, the organizations are working together to promote well-being and awareness in the community.
