"Thank You for Your Leadership and Hard Work"
We were delighted to receive an email of appreciation from Deborah Duitch, Director of Early Learning and Afterschool at Bellevue School District. Deborah has been closely involved with the work of Eastside Pathways' School Readiness collaborative.

Shout Out!
Monika Steen appreciates Michelle Williams-Clark, Student Success Specialist at Bellevue Family YMCA.
Great News: Grant Award!
Eastside Pathways was awarded a $30k grant and, even more excitingly, a dedicated researcher through October of 2020 from the University of Washington UniteEd: Seed Grant. These resources will help continue the work of the Mental Health and Wellbeing Collaborative to be newly rolled out as MESH (Mindsets, Essential Skills and Habits).
Please read The Toughest Conversation, an article recently published by 425 Magazine,that highlights work that came out of the Eastside Pathways Mental Health and Wellbeing Collaborative. The article focuses on mental health struggles of Eastside middle-schoolers and how organizations such as Youth Eastside Services, along with the Bellevue and Lake Washington school districts, are leading the effort to prevent suicide among students.
