Meet and Greet
In the fall, PHSI sponsored the annual Meet and Greet event that brings together agencies and school personnel. The purpose of the event is to allow school personnel to get to know all of the agencies in our community and the services that they offer. Over 100 participants attended the yearly event co-sponsored by Adolescent Wellness Network and the Santa Cruz County CCRT.

Teacher Training
Trauma Informed Care was at the heart of this year’s goal of creating awareness and sharing knowledge surrounding trauma in youth. Over 345 teachers were trained across the county in all five of our school districts. Participants learned about trauma, brain development, stress response in youth, and strategies to address the unique needs of students who have experienced trauma. Teacher training is a key pro-active measure creating positive and safe environments in schools.
Student Workshop
PHSI held students workshops at schools across the county. Approximately 975 students participated in the workshops aimed at helping students identify their emotions and learn coping skills. Students were able to discuss and share their feelings and were given tools and strategies that help regulate their feelings.
