School Based Therapy

We want all of our students to be healthy and ready to learn, and we recognize that strong mental health and wellness play a vital role in a student's growth and success. Students who are struggling with stress, anxiety or other concerns cannot focus on school work. That's why we’ve partnered with Access Counseling and Cartwheel to help increase student access to high quality and affordable mental healthcare.

Erin’s Law

Ohio's 135th General Assembly enacted House Bill 33, which requires developmentally appropriate instruction in child sexual abuse prevention to be included in schools' prescribed health curriculum for students in grades kindergarten through sixth grade.

As required by law, the district has selected the curriculum Fight Child Abuse, a resource provided by the Barbara Sinatra Children’s Center Foundation. This curriculum has various videos on child sexual abuse topics such as safe and unsafe touch. All students will receive annual instruction from their respective building counselors.

Parents and guardians may submit a written request to excuse their student/s from taking instruction in child sexual abuse curriculum. Please contact your student’s school counselor if you would like to opt out.

SAVE Act

Ohio's 133rd General Assembly enacted House Bill 123, the "Safety and Violence Education Students (SAVE Students) Act," regarding school security and youth suicide awareness education and training. The state legislation calls for a comprehensive approach to school safety involving the Ohio departments of Education, Public Safety, Mental Health and Addiction Services, and the Attorney General’s Office.

The law requires the following for school districts:

Beginning with the 2023-24 school year, in grades 6 through 12 and continuing each subsequent year, schools must include at least three hours total (or three standard class periods) per school year of evidence-based instruction in each of the following topics:

Suicide awareness and prevention.
Safety training and violence prevention.
Social inclusion.

Each school district must use a training program approved by the Ohio Department of Education.
Upon receiving written request of the student's parent or guardian, a student shall be excused from taking instruction in suicide prevention, violence prevention and social inclusion.

At Monroe Local Schools, students grades 6-8 receive training that utilizes Sandy Hook Promise materials, including Say Something and the Say Something Anonymous Reporting System. Students grades 9-12 receive training that utilizes Erika’s Lighthouse, Level III: Depression Education & Suicide Awareness.

Parents and guardians may submit a written request to excuse their student/s from taking instruction in suicide prevention, violence prevention, and social inclusion. Please contact your student’s school counselor if you would like to opt out of future SAVE Act instruction.
