School Health Support
Welcome to Children's Mercy School Health Page! Here you can find resources, tools, and education to support children's health in school. This page was created for school nurses and staff, parents, caregivers, and students.
Post-trauma training
The profound impact violent events have on children's mental health is undeniable, potentially causing lasting trauma. For months to come, it’s likely some of our community’s children will show signs and symptoms of post-traumatic stress reaction related to KC’s parade violence as well as everyday trauma. With your strong knowledge and community influence, we can work together to improve mental health outcomes now and in the future.
If you are interested in learning more about upcoming training opportunities available for those that work with children following disasters or experiencing everyday trauma, please complete our interest form.
