How can I engage the families of our students?
Family members set the trend for their children at home. Support families in your community with workbooks and training on how to speak with their children about mental health.
Engage parents and families as partners to promote good mental health
The Erika's Lighthouse Family Engagement pillar includes printable bookmarks with a list of resources, a series of three workbooks, and 2 on-demand workshops. All resources are available in both English and Spanish.
Some ideas on how schools can share these resources are: at parent meetings, at the beginning of a school year as part of a welcome back packet, during May (Mental Health Awareness Month), in a monthly e-newsletter, on a website list of resources or a counseling department newsletter.
