Typical or Troubled grant program has been extended until April 4

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to let you know that the deadline to apply for the Typical or Troubled grant program has been extended until April 4.  The application process is not complicated, and I would encourage you to look at this for your school or district.  The content of the program is good, and through the grant, school districts receive ample funding to deliver the content of the program to staff. Community organizations, high schools and school districts are eligible to receive funding.

Typical or Troubled?™ is an educational program, designed for school personnel (teachers, coaches school counselors, etc…) to raise their awareness of mental disorders in teens. The program focuses on promoting the importance of early recognition and treatment, recognizing the early warning signs of mental health problems, and encouraging action and appropriate referral to a mental health professional.
