Heartland AEA and Winterset Schools Partner to Enhance Therapeutic Classrooms

The HEART classrooms utilize a trauma-informed approach grounded in equity, relationships and regulation. The HEART classroom will provide intentional instruction and support to students with severe social, emotional, behavioral, and/or mental health needs. Relationships are at the foundation of everything we do, and we will work in partnership with children/youth, their families, and sending schools to empower children/youth to make healthy choices and thrive. The goal of these classrooms is for all students to return to the general education classroom as soon as they are prepared.

Please refer to this HEART Therapeutic Classroom flyer for additional information about HEART classrooms, goal and supports, and an introduction to the team. If you are a sending school interested in making a referral, please reference the HEART Referral Process.
