Upcoming Building Bonds Webinar Focuses on Social-Emotional Screening and Telehealth
The second Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) Building Bonds Beyond the School: Webinars for Families is set for Wed., Dec. 18, 2024, from 6-7 p.m. This virtual session, presented by the ACPS Department of Student Services and Equity, will focus on social-emotional supports available for ACPS students. Implementation of the Devereux Student Strengths Assessment (DESSA) and the telehealth service for students, Hazel Health, will be discussed.
The DESSA-mini tool helps evaluate how frequently a student has displayed specific life skills over the past month. Through Hazel Health, virtual therapy appointments are made available for students, so they can speak with a licensed therapist at no cost to families.
