WellSpring Resources (WR) and the Roxana School District. A full-time WR staff member is now located at the High School to serve middle and high school students. The program's goal is to improve social and emotional skills among youth; promote healthy behaviors and reduce emotional problems; increase safety for students; and reduce disciplinary problems.
The vision for this collaboration is to develop the understanding that wellness is not just physical. It spans a continuum that includes social and emotional health. With improved social and emotional health, WR and Roxana Schools expect to see a decrease in violence and bullying, and an increase in attendance and graduation rates. As part of the overall initiative, teachers and support staff will receive training on social and emotional learning and positive behavior interventions and supports for students.
