Stanly County Schools as well as Gray Stone Day School train faculty and staff in suicide gatekeeper education.  Programs such as Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) and Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) are provided to teachers and staff who work directly with students.  Gray Stone students participate in "Say Something" education and Mission 34 mental health programming.  Stanly County Schools students participate in education such as Too Good for Drugs, Botvin LifeSkills, and Second Step curriculums that address mental wellness and drug use prevention.  Visit https://www.stanlycountyschools.org/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=1227282&type=d&pREC_ID=2257483 for more information on Stanly County Schools mental health plan. 

We strive to reach students and their families with mental health education and resources.  

We will measure number of students receiving education and evaluate gained knowledge of students who participate in each curriculum through exit surveys.  We will also measure outreach to families through participation in community events and school sponsored health fairs.
