August 18, at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street – "Silver Schools Mental Health Grant"
Earlier this year the Silver City consolidated school systems received a $6 million mental health grant from the U.S. Department of Education via the state. The program is intended to expand mental health services needed in local schools.
The money will be spent on hiring mental health professionals for every school in the district, which will enable them to help all students and staff. The grant will also help develop treatment programs which can be expanded to student and family support and resources, identify warning signs in students and work to create a positive school climate.
Joyce Barela, the mental health liaison, will explain the mental health issues facing students, and how the grant has been used to address those needs.
Childcare is available every Sunday. Zoey Cronin will lead a formal children's program on second and fourth Sundays.
Children are welcome to participate on any Sunday, but they will get the most out of the program if they attend second and fourth Sundays somewhat regularly. Family adults may stay for the children's program or attend the adult program. Children are encouraged to bring a small item that represents someone or something they are grateful for that week.
There are speakers on the patio if you wish to enjoy the service outside.
