Adolescence is one of the most formative periods of our lives. These years are a time of growth and change. They can also come with challenges and pressures that can impact mental health. We will not only offer a service; we will build a supportive ecosystem where girls can discover their own power to manage stress, build resilience, and cultivate self-esteem.<br \/>\nWe propose a program designed to address the urgent youth mental crisis within our schools. It is estimated that over 50% of our female students experience high levels of anxiety. In partnership with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) program \u201cEnding the Silence\u201d, we will offer a three-pronged approach. We will assign a current staff member to provide essential support in developing emotional regulation and healthy coping strategies for the girls, and to empower school staff with de-escalation techniques and everyday mental health vocabulary, thereby reducing classroom disruptions and improving the learning experience. They will be paid a stipend for this position. Secondly, we will strengthen the home-school connection by educating parents, hosting workshops, and providing mental health resources. In this way, we can build a cohesive support system that extends beyond the school day. Thirdly, we will provide students with targeted opportunities, such as workshops, field trips, and real-world experiences, so that as their confidence grows, so does their capacity for leadership and economic independence. We see this as the inevitable result of a cultivated mindset. This confidence ripples out from the individual to her family and community, breaking cycles of poverty and struggles for generations to come.<br \/>\nExpected outcomes include fewer behavioral referrals for classroom disruptions, increased emotional resilience, improved emotion regulation through coping skills, and reduced absenteeism. <\/p>\n<p>Total Project Budget: $15,000<\/p>\n<p>Other Funding <br \/>\nSources For The Project (Committed &amp; Potential): The Oberle Academy <\/p>\n<p>Project Duration: 1 year<br \/>\nGeographical Area Served: All of Planning district 16, Prince William, Faquier, Orange and Hanover counties<br \/>\nAge Group To Be Served: 8-21<\/p>\n<p>Contact Information<\/p>\n<hr size='1' noshade='noshade' \/>\n<p>Contact Prefix (Mr,Mrs etc.): Ms.<br \/>\nContact First Name: Jeanine <br \/>\nContact Last Name: Marchese<br \/>\nContact Title: Grant Research<br \/>\nContact Phone: 540-372-6710<br \/>\nContact Email: jmarchese@theoberleacademy.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hermanowski Family Foundation Initial Request Form Organization Name: The Oberle Academy Legal Name (if Different): Employment Resources, Inc.
