La Clinica de Familia SBHC School Kickoff Outreach Strategies

Many thanks to LCDF for the included strategy they have shared for integrating their SBHC into the school culture at the kickoff of a new school year, ensuring a positive ongoing relationship for student support. LCDF will be sponsoring staff wellness events for school administrators, teachers, janitors, cafeteria workers and others, during the days of staff planning before students' first day of school. LCDF will be providing health checks, massages and other services as well as sharing information about LCDF SBHC operations with the staff. Each school staff person who receives a wellness service will be required to complete a survey with their information, which will support LCDF's ongoing contact with them. The overall goal is to integrate the SBHC into the school more fully and to ensure greater productivity and greater student outcomes as a result.
