Parent Guidance.org
Pocahontas County Schools is excited to partner with the Cook Center for Human Connection and their Mental Health and Wellness Resource Center: ParentGuidance.org. This is a family support library for all families that provides any adult and caretaker in the district with a trusted place to go for qualified answers to the toughest parenting and childcare challenges from the premier therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists in their respective specialties, who offer compassionate, anonymous, and supportive guidance for you and your children.
This FREE resource offers over 50 courses in English and Spanish created and given by licensed clinicians addressing topics like Anxiety, Depression, Self-Harm, Bullying, Social Media, Substance Abuse, Grief and Loss, etc.
Why is this important?
In 2021, the American Academy of Pediatrics declared a national emergency, noting that child and adolescent healthcare professionals are “caring for young people with soaring rates of depression, anxiety, trauma, loneliness, and suicidality that will have lasting impacts on them, their families, and their communities.”
Educators report increases in behavior challenges and classroom disruptions since the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted in-person instruction and impacted schools, communities, and homes over several years.
Supporting the Mental Health Needs of Children
The evolving mental health needs of children continue to capture the attention of our families, schools, and communities. The WVDE is expanding access to resources to help address the social-emotional well-being of all children.
Check out the course titled, How Digital Media is Changing Our Children’s Mental Health. To access the course, navigate to ParentGuidance.org and click On-Demand Courses > Technology.
