Nine out of 10 came from low-income families, and some were dealing with the trauma of homelessness, deportations, family substance abuse, and violence on the streets and in their homes.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]When the pandemic forced school districts to stop in-person learning and move to the online world, the situation got worse.<\/p>\n

\u201cSchool was their safe place, and that was gone,\u201d said Pearl Heppner, executive director of Family Foundations Counseling Services, which provides counseling to students and staff at Hamilton with grant support from Kaiser Permanente. \u201cMany students felt isolated. There was huge anxiety, depression, and feelings of loss, and parents could not always understand what was going on with their children.\u201d<\/p>\n

When the Hamilton campus closed, Family Foundations quickly pivoted to holding counseling sessions with students online. Before the pandemic, it provided in-person individual and group counseling, plus classroom interventions.<\/p>\n

Family Foundations Counseling Services is 1 of 15 organizations across Northern California that received a total of $1.5 million in Resilience Initiative grants from Kaiser Permanente to provide mental health counseling for middle and high school students.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe provide a safe place for students to look at and process their feelings, and we help them build skills to bring down their anxiety. When needed, we connect them to community resources,\u201d said Heppner.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” content_placement=”middle” equal_height=”yes” tablet_fullwidth_cols=”yes” el_class=”block-quote-photo-wrap”][vc_column css_animation=”slideInRight” el_class=”block-quote” offset=”vc_col-md-6″][vc_column_text css_animation=”slideInLeft”]\u201cWe\u2019re making a difference for them, and it\u2019s amazing to be a part of that.\u201d

Mindfulness grants<\/h2>\n

Grant funding for 3 community-based organizations brings mindfulness training to 10 school districts and 5 additional schools. Substantial evidence shows mindfulness training helps students combat the negative impacts of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), decrease stress and anxiety, increase ability to focus attention, emotionally regulate, and improve interpersonal relationships.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle” columns_right=”yes” el_class=”story-stagger story-stagger-left”][vc_column_inner offset=”vc_col-md-7″]
