Introducing Our Story℠:
A New Chapter in Positive Educational Impact
|
|
Dear CGRESD Team,
We are thrilled to announce the launch of Our Story℠, a transformative opportunity designed to reshape the educational landscape by cultivating a positive narrative. Born from a partnership between Clare-Gladwin RESD and Saginaw ISD, Our Story℠ is more than a project—it's a movement towards thriving together. By integrating the principles of PERMAH (Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, Achievement, and Health), this endeavor is poised to elevate our shared journey toward personal development and success.
Utilizing the Thrillshare app, Our Story℠ offers each of us an opportunity to contribute to a shared narrative that highlights our celebrations and fosters a sense of belonging and purpose. It's about showcasing your exceptional efforts to make our organization unique and demonstrating how, through positive psychology, we can all flourish together.
As we begin this journey, let's embrace the power of storytelling and the science of well-being to create an environment where everyone is empowered to achieve their best. Together, let's weave a story of resilience, innovation, and collective thriving that will inspire future generations.
Welcome to Our Story℠—where your stories pave the way for a brighter, more connected future.
In service,

Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) Training |
YMHFA Instructors Angella Peters, BS, and Sara Sroufe, MSW LMSW, offered a blended Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) Training, which consisted of two hours of online training and two days of instructor-led training at the Clare-Gladwin RESD Administration building.
Youth Mental Health First Aid is an early intervention public education program. It teaches adults how to recognize the signs and symptoms that suggest a potential mental health challenge, how to listen nonjudgmentally and give reassurance to youth who may be experiencing a mental health challenge, and how to refer a person to appropriate professional support and services.
By the end of the course, participants were able to:
- Describe the purpose of Youth Mental Health First Aid and the role of the Youth Mental Health First Aider.
- Recognize the signs and symptoms of mental health challenges that may impact youth.
- Explain the impact of traumatic experiences and the role of resilience on adolescent development.
- Apply the appropriate steps of the YMHFA Action Plan (ALGEE) to non-crisis situations.
- Apply the proper steps of the YMHFA Action Plan (ALGEE) to crises.
- Following the application of Youth Mental Health First Aid in a crisis or non-crisis situation, choose appropriate methods for self-care.
Congratulations to the newest Youth Mental Health First Aiders: Candy Fischer, Jennifer Magley, Vivian Youngblade, Katherine Schallhorn, Jackie Woolston, and Felicia Wright.
If you, your district, or your community is interested in hosting a YMHFA training, please contact Angella Peters at apeters@cgresd.net.
