It’s back to school season! Education is an important part of every child’s development, but it isn’t limited to their time in school. Here are a few simple things caregivers can do at home to help children get excited about learning, and encourage them to participate more in the classroom. #backtoschool #mentalhealth #behavioralhealth #education #wellness

As Director of School Programs, Chris Borer oversees a team that works with area school districts to provide services for students who need extra support because of behavioral and mental health challenges. Our school programs include self-contained classrooms at KMHS or embedded in a school district, KMHS therapists stationed in local schools, and a collaborative team that connects students and families with therapeutic and community support. Chris chooses to work at KMHS because our message of hope and opportunity resonates with him, because of the strength and breadth of our school programs, and because the agency is a fantastic place to learn and grow professionally. Chris has seen the Madrona program grow from one classroom to four, with a potential to expand again. His experience and passion for working with school districts to support their most challenging students made him an obvious choice to fill this new role. #mentalhealth #behavioralhealth #youthmentalhealth

Being prepared to recognize and respond to an overdose is essential! Naloxone, also known as Narcan, is an over-the-counter medication which reverses opioid overdoses. Naloxone is available in any Washington Pharmacy for purchase and is covered by some insurance plans. Ask your pharmacist for more information about Naloxone and ask if you may be eligible to receive it at no cost. Washington residents can also have Naloxone shipped to their home for free: http://phra.org/naloxone
Do you know how to prevent & respond to an overdose? It's important for all of us to be aware of the signs of an overdose & how to respond to one. For more information, you can read SAMHSA's Overdose Prevention and Response Toolkit: https://lnkd.in/erPeSpZ8 #OverdoseAwarenessWeek

Each year we honor employee excellence with our Starfish Awards. This year’s Team Award honored the KMHS staff involved in the Evergreen Bright Start project. This team had a bold vision to address a pressing community need of youth homelessness. They worked in partnership with Bremerton Housing Authority to bring a permanent housing facility online in just 15 months and it was new construction! With onsite services and access to healthcare and job training, Evergreen Bright Start will catch those young adults 18-24 and help guide them back to the circle of community. #housing #permanenthousing #mentalhealth #behavioralhealth #community #staffrecognition
