BSF's Mental Health Initiative: Helping Students Cope with COVID 

 About the Program

Join us to hear Kerince Bowen and Jared Taylor present how Bellevue School District's (BSD) Mental Health Assistance Team (MHAT) has helped students suffering from depression, anxiety and social isolation during COVID. Their presentation will include data from the first semester followed by powerful student stories that touch the heart.

Kerince and Jared will speak about the importance of mental health screenings, discuss the tools and resources available to students with mental health needs and provide guidance on how parents can support their children during this challenging time.
