ConnectED Program

The Delaware County ConnectED Program is a comprehensive initiative designed to support the academic, social, emotional, and behavioral well-being of students within the county’s school districts. Grounded in the belief that every student deserves access to a nurturing and inclusive learning environment, the program integrates assessment, intervention, and support services to address a wide range of student needs.

Mission and Objectives: The mission of the Delaware County ConnectED Program is to promote student success by identifying and addressing barriers to learning and well-being. Its core objectives include:

1. 1. Early Intervention: Identify students who may be experiencing academic, social, emotional, or behavioral difficulties as early as possible to prevent academic failure and disengagement.
   2. Collaboration: Foster collaboration among school personnel, parents, students, and community partners to coordinate services, share information, and maximize resources.
   3. Prevention and Education: Provide prevention programs, educational workshops, and resources to promote positive mental health, social-emotional skills, and resilience among students, staff, and families.

Key Components of the ConnectED Program: The ConnectED Program encompasses several key components to support student success:

1. 1. Counseling and Mental Health Services: Provide linkage to individual counseling, group therapy, and mental health support services to address a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and behavioral challenges.
   2. Parent and Family Engagement: Engage parents and families as partners in the assessment and intervention process, providing education, resources, and support to promote positive parent-child relationships and home-school collaboration.

Collaborative Partnerships: The success of the ConnectED Program relies on strong collaboration and partnerships among various stakeholders, including:

• • School administrators, teachers, counselors, and support staff
  • Parents, guardians, and families
  • Mental health professionals (psychologists, social workers, counselors)
