Clover Park School District announcement.
Clover Park School District (CPSD) and the city of Lakewood have partnered to fund programs that support wellness for CPSD students. The partnership includes matching federal dollars from both the district and city and focuses on peer-to-peer mental health activities for students, staff training on mental health and small group discussion of youth wellness in classrooms.
The efforts began with a survey conducted last spring that included 400 CPSD high school students. Results found that a majority of students were dealing with anxiety and stress. Students indicated they were likely to utilize peer-to-peer support for mental health and would like built-in class time to talk about mental health and coping strategies.
To address the survey results, the district has begun implementing seven Youth Wellness Modules that create peer-to-peer conversations that deal with mental health topics students identified in the survey. Students are matched up with other students to have these conversations in a one-on-one or group setting.
The program was piloted at Hudtloff Middle School in the fall, Lakes this Spring and will be expanded to the district’s other secondary schools over the coming year. The seven modules students focus on are anxiety, stress, coping skills, self-care, social media, building and maintaining healthy relationships, self-awareness and acceptance.
Learn more about the Youth Wellness Modules in this video, with remarks from CPSD Superintendent Ron Banner and Lakewood Mayor Jason Whalen.
“….support wellness for CPSD students”? Stress, anxiety well what do you expect. This is normal for children moving through puberty into young adulthood. This may have been accentuated by COVID isolation but there are other causes. ? It is also the adults who have turned their children’s young lives upside down as though trying to work through unresolved adult issues through children.
Gender fluidity, homosexuality, pronouns, anti-racism-racism, CRT, EDI, sex education, anti-police and other authority figures, denigrating our Country, blaming history on the current generation, the lack of value of the unborn, making masculinity toxic, drugging normal childhood behavior, something for nothing society, circumventing the rule of law, moral equivalency, anti-religion, secularism, group identity tribalism, regressive-ism masquerading as “progressive-ism”, situational morality, letting the “exceptions rule” rather than ruling by exception, etc. etc. etc.
Go ahead and destroy the very institutions and belief system that underlie society, are grounding for developing lives and bu casting these children adrift and see if you don’t breed generations of children who are becoming as stressed, confused and irresponsible as those alleged adults who should be their role models.
