✨ Expanding Access. Strengthening Support. ✨

In partnership with Volunteer Behavioral Health, #BedfordCountySchools recently received a grant-funded donation of nine telehealth iPad carts and seven take-home iPads to support #student mental health.

This initiative helps remove barriers and connect more #students and families with critical mental health services because access to care should never stand in the way of success. 💙

📍Shoe collection bins are in each of our schools and at the Central Office.
