Paid Advertisement SCSOS Student Support and Outreach: Supporting Social-Emotional Needs of Sutter County Students Superintendent Tom Reusser Sutter County Superintendent of Schools Our Student Support and Outreach Department has offered many opportunities to provide mental health awareness and support for students and school staff throughout this school year. During the first semester, with a grant received from Sutter-Yuba Behavioral Health, the SSO Department along with various school sites, was able to co- host and/or participate in multiple drive through events spreading mental health awareness and positivity. The first was held at East Nicolaus High School, followed by Live Oak High, Yuba City High, Sutter Union High and Albert Powell. We were able to help provide resiliency tools in the form of board games and goodie bags to Feather River Academy families as they picked up their Thanksgiving food baskets before the break. SSO's Intervention and Prevention Specialists continue to provide immeasurable support and advocacy to our community's schools by providing services to our foster youth and homeless families and students. Through the Displaced Youth Multi-Disciplinary Team (DYMDT), SSO, along with other community grant partners (Sutter County Probation and YCUSD), has been able to provide short-term lodging and support to families in housing crisis. The SSO Intervention and Prevention Specialists have connected these families to community resources and supports to secure transitional and permanent housing situations as quickly as possible. SSO has been able to hire tutors to provide supplemental tutoring services to local foster youth through the Learning Loss Mitigation Funds Grant. Although these funds ended in December, through support and funding from our Curriculum, Instruction and Accountability Department, SSO will continue to offer these tutoring services for the remainder of the school year. This allows SSO' PASS assistants to provide individual tutoring services to area foster youth to help prevent learning loss during this difficult time. Our SSO Team has also grown by two new counselors to fully implement counseling services outlined in the Learning Communities School Success Programs (LCSSP) Grant through a consortium model to Sutter County's small school districts. Eleven local education agencies participated in the LCSSP Grant and are receiving counseling services tailored to each of their school sites. In addition, two school sites that did not participate have now contracted counseling services through SS0 in an effort to provide much needed social-emotional support to students.
