Spread the Word! Free Mental Health Resources Available for Iowa Educators Through Kognito

The Iowa Department of Public Health is sharing a free online resource, Kognito, that is available to schools through Sept. 29.

Access a wealth of resources and engage in online training simulations designed to prepare teachers, administrators and school staff:

• To recognize when a student is exhibiting signs of psychological distress, and manage a conversation with the student with the goal of connecting them with the appropriate support.
• To support students who may be struggling due to harassment or exclusion related to sexual identity, sexual orientation or other differences.
