Iowa's AEAs are developing a website to support mental health in Iowa children ages 0-21, to be launched on July 1, 2020. This site is designed to be a one-stop shop for students, educators, caregivers, families and community partners to find mental health resources to assist all communities in the state of Iowa. We need feedback from educators. We are looking for the needs of Iowans that can best be addressed through an online website. Please share this with your colleagues and take a moment to complete the Iowa AEAs Mental Health website survey by Nov. 19.
