To kick off Mental Health Awareness Month, our amazing District Mental Health Specialists teamed up with the new MWCPD Crisis Intervention Response Team (C.I.R.T) to bring meaningful conversations about mental health to our students. 🚨 Their first stop? Carl Albert High School! The team—featuring Ashlee Tollison, Abigail McCalister, Sgt. Fisher, Ofc. Wise, and the beloved Miles the Therapy Dog 🐾—spent the day presenting “Mental Health Challenges: Recognizing Signs & Encouraging Help” to all Freshman Orientation classes and the CA Leadership Program. 💚 We are so thankful for community partners who are passionate about supporting student well-being and breaking the stigma around mental health. This is just the beginning! #MentalHealthAwareness #OneDistrictOneFamily #MidDelCares #mdpurpose
