During this workshop, you will learn about Ravenscroft school, a PK-12, coed, day, 1,250-student community, and our institutional structure centered on student well-being.

Guided by this value, the Associate Head of School for Student Affairs oversees a team of strategically placed clinicians and health providers throughout the organization. Rooted in early identification and prevention strategies, our model aims to leverage our school’s mission, current systems and programs, and works to equip all members within the community to support the well-being of students and guide them to appropriate resources. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in case study scenarios, review handbook policies, and learn about institutional procedures that showcase our clinical services. Participants will leave with an understanding of this framework and steps for implementation.
