About

SCAN-LISD AWARE (Advancing Wellness and Resiliency in Education) Project

Serving Children and Adults in Need (SCAN) in conjunction with the Laredo Independent School District (LISD) has implemented the SCAN-LISD AWARE Project in Laredo, Webb County, Texas. This project has been designed to increase SCAN’s ability to foster mental health awareness and resiliency among youth and their families in the school district. The SCAN-LISD AWARE Project has developed a sustainable infrastructure for school-based mental health programs and services in the district by implementing a three-tiered public health model, which includes evidence-based universal and secondary prevention services and tertiary intervention services.

Services & Activities

Universal supports for all youth occur through nurturing and responsive relationships and high-quality environments and are essential to healthy social development. Presentations will be provided to youth and parents, and information will be disseminated through flyers, brochures, and social media.

Secondary prevention services include targeted social-emotional strategies that support youth at risk of challenging behavior and mental health challenges. This can include instruction and support in assisting youth in self-regulation, expressing and understanding their emotions, developing social relationships, and positive decision-making and problem-solving behaviors.
