Strategy: Improve Mental Wellness

In response to the Mental Wellness Coalition’s (MWC) recommendation, Dawson County Family Connection (DCFC) is tasked with the creation of three (3) mental wellness brochures with students, parents, & adults as target audiences. The topic of mental wellness is a priority of most of our partner agencies & a consensus has been established that promoting the resources currently available to the community-at-large needs to be a priority. As a result, we plan to improve the Community Resource Directory and implement A Family Fair. Finally, we’ve identified a need for all mental health facilitators to have a unified approach & unified language when providing resources to our community; therefore, DCFC has included Trauma Informed Care Training/Lunch & Learns in our FY’24 annual plan.
