Partnership with Sounders FC, RAVE, Providence Health
Renton School District has partnered with Seattle Sounders FC, the RAVE Foundation, and Providence Health to provide social emotional wellness opportunities for students and staff. Through this partnership, all district students have access to mental health services and support, including:
- Tele-mental health therapy provided by Hazel Health, a leading K-12 telehealth provider.
- Mental health awareness curriculum, support for wellness clubs on campus, and outreach to help kids prioritize their mental well-being and support their friends.
- In-person and virtual events and assemblies using Work2BeWell resources, designed by high school students to include mental health and wellness curriculum, student clubs, educator activities, parent resources and teen podcasts.
- Safe spaces for kids to play, including new soccer mini-pitch fields and basketball courts in the Renton area.
The partnership helps create healthier communities through empowering youth, health education, physical activity, and access to physical and mental health resources.
Building a Culture of Play and Emotional Well-Being
Working together, we'll also help create safe spaces for children to play and provide camps that incorporate mental well-being curriculum. In addition, the partnership will help foster a culture within local area schools to help every child prioritize their mental well-being and be equipped to support their peers.
