Created for parents and caregivers, three new videos and a video guide are now available for access on the Project AWARE webpage under “Parent/Caregiver Resources.”

The Project AWARE team strives to enhance partnerships that support and promote wellness, resilience, and tools to empower students, families, educators, and school staff. This 3-part video series, Nurturing Child and Adolescent Development and Mental Health, is made possible through collaboration of the Department of Education, Department of Social Services-Division of Behavioral Health, and South Dakota State University.

• Video: Middle Childhood Development
• Video: Adolescent Development
• Video: Child and Adolescent Mental Health

Have you ever thought of mental health as a continuum of well-being? Learn more about it in the Strengthening Child and Adolescent Mental Health video. All these videos are a great tool to have in one’s toolbox to review and share with parents and caregivers. Additionally, a video guide has been made available which provides an overview of the content, supplemental resources, and timestamps for convenient accessibility.

The videos were made possible through Project AWARE funds in partnership with the South Dakota Department of Education, South Dakota Department of Social Services, and South Dakota State University.
