Long-term work to mitigate the health, social-emotional and academic impacts of childhood trauma in Gladstone got a $575,000 grant. Another $40,000 from the Heatherington Foundation for Innovation and Education in Health Care will address two immediate needs for the Gladstone School District: nutrition support and technology.
"This is the largest grant our district has ever received, and it could not have come at a better time," said Superintendent Bob Stewart. "The quarantine has impacted children through isolation, anxiety, and financial hardship. These grants will enable us to take both immediate and long-term steps to address their health, academic, social-emotional and nutritional needs."
Since 2011, the Gladstone School District has implemented programs to address the long-term impact childhood trauma has on physical, behavioral and social-emotional health.
