This grant has helped maintain services from a behavior analyst that supports students, teachers, and families with behavioral and mental health strategies, support, resources, and skillsets that result in healthier and happier outcomes for students to find success in and out of the classroom.  Services have been consistent during the 2023-2024 school year in our Park County rural schools due to this NYEF grant.

Rural Resilience has offered an invaluable service to my family over the past year.  My daughter has been meeting with Bridget Kelly one on-one each week for the last several months and she has not only provided her with a really welcoming and open listening ear that has allowed my daughter to really open up and share her struggles of her Middle School experience with her, but more importantly, she has offered some really invaluable tools to help her navigate middle school and really just life in general. It's allowed her to realize that it's okay to ask for help, to open up and share your feelings, to set healthy boundaries, and to advocate for yourself.  I don't think she would be where she's at and navigating the hardships of being a teenager in a small town without the services that she's receiving from Bridget and Rural Resilience.  I can't thank them enough for just offering such a great organization to Park County youth and families.
