The West Virginia Dept. of Education is rolling out a new resource to support students during National Mental Health Awareness Month. Parent Guidance is an online platform for families, teachers and caregivers that may be used to address wellness and self care. Tools include parent coaching with behavioral health experts, parenting sessions taught by licensed therapists, plus a discussion forum.
The WVDE has entered a three-year contract with the Cook Center for Human Connection to bring the website to West Virginia families amid a shortage of mental health services.
