GVMS Families: Dear Parents and Guardians, Our school takes a comprehensive approach in meeting the various needs of our students. One of these approaches is to bring evidence-based programs to the students to assist them in handling life experiences before they become concerns. Proven to be the most effective evidence-based program used in schools today, LifeSkills Training is comprehensive, dynamic, and developmentally designed to promote mental health and positive youth development. In addition to helping kids resist drug, alcohol, and tobacco use, the LifeSkills Training Middle School program also effectively supports the reduction of violence and other high-risk behaviors. This program will begin this month and next in each of our MS grade levels. You can find more information about the Botvin Lifeskills Program at lifeskillstraining.com This program will be instructed by UH Hospital volunteers. Hope everyone’s year is off to a great start! Lisa McClain GVMS Counselor
