District launches Youth Wellness Community Collaboration after student death; partners to reconvene in January
Summary
Superintendent's presenter described a new Youth Wellness Community Collaboration led with consultant Joanne Leckham and more than 30 community partners to better coordinate mental-health supports following a student death; the group will meet again in January.
Speaker 11 described the district’s new Youth Wellness Community Collaboration at the Oct. 24 meeting, calling it a coordinated effort with community partners and mental‑health consultant Joanne Leckham to support students’ emotional and social well‑being.
"Many of our youth are facing significant challenges in their mental and emotional well‑being as evidenced these past few years," the presenter said, describing the district’s intent to bring partners together to share needs and resources and avoid siloed efforts. The presenter said more than 30 community partners attended the first meeting and the group intends to reconvene in January.
The initiative was framed as a response to a student death last year; the presenter said the first meeting focused on introductions and establishing why partners should work together. Next steps include refining who else to invite, sending thank‑you notes and RSVPs, and developing the agenda for the next convening.
