Due to structural and systemic issues, students and families may have a difficult time meeting their basic needs. This can impact their overall wellbeing and their academic progress. This training will teach educators how to help families access services including food, housing, health and mental health resources. We will also cover child care and after-school programming to discuss how these supports will strengthen students and their families. In addition, educators will learn how to recognize when resource referrals might be needed to support a family's wellbeing. Finally, it is important to note that appropriate resource referrals have been shown to reduce the likelihood of future child welfare and juvenile justice involvement. By supporting families that are working to overcome systemic injustices, we can prevent future system involvement.
