Mental Wellness Coordinator Krista Fay sits down for a conversation with Dr. Wyndham about the efforts she's leading across the corporation to foster the mental and emotional wellness of Avon's students and staff. She talks about the wide variety of social-emotional supports (SES) for students and staff. This discussion is vital for two primary reasons. First, the COVID-19 crisis is taking an emotional toll on all of us. Second, a dramatically different holiday season is upon us and even under "normal" circumstances, it can be a difficult time for many.
