Thanks to a donation from the Botetourt County Rotary Club, Botetourt County Public Schools are placing an increased emphasis on mental health resources for parents and students. The Rotary Club presented a $3,000 check to the school system to help fund online mental health resources that are available free of charge.
As part of a grant aimed at providing mental health support to at-risk youth in the community, this generous contribution is crucial in helping families support their children’s mental health needs effectively.
Dr. Angie Anderson, a member of the Rotary Club and a mental health professional, emphasizes the importance of involving parents in the treatment process. She notes that parental involvement is key to the success of interventions for children facing mental health challenges. The online resources funded by the Rotary Club grant include coaching services and answers to common mental health questions, making them readily accessible to parents and students.
To access these valuable resources, parents and students can visit the designated website provided by Botetourt County Public Schools. These resources not only offer information and support but also serve as a tool to promote awareness and understanding of mental health issues in the community.
