Taking Care of Each Other!
Partnering, collaborating, & caring with other community organizations that provide services to our schools, students, and families.
The NAMI/LOM Team staying current with CPR training. We completed the CPR AED class that taught us adult and child CPR and AED use and how to relieve choking in adults, children, and infants. We participated in simulated clinical scenarios and learning stations.

We Believe that Positive Work and Learning Environments Stimulate Optimism.
Celebrating each other! Spending time outdoors with the mental health counselors who serve our public elementary schools is a a worthwhile moment! The Lean on Me Project currently sponsors three LMHC so there can be a second counselor at Wilkinson and Taylor Ranch Elementary Schools, as well as, Oak Park School.
The Florida Center for Early Childhood is home to the state’s first and only Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) Clinic. The clinic is available to diagnose, make recommendations, provide necessary interventions and educate (families and communities) in order to reduce/prevent negative outcomes.

We Believe in Supporting Each Other.
In Sarasota County if you live within two miles of a school district, busing is not available which can make it a bit difficult some days to get to and from schools. Check out this student's new pink bike from the LOM team. She was so excited to receive it and we gave her bike lessons. She is ready for the new school year!
We Believe in Solving Problems.
Meet the team from Visible Men Academy! They spent their day on a progressive learning tour. They started at Visible Men Academy, drove to Weinberger Oasis to engage in reducing retramautization in the classroom, and then met for their last experience and tour at Resilient Retreat!
We Believe in Connections in Our Community.
In partnership with FaceAutism through Dynasty Dance Clubs in Lakewood Ranch, LOM continues to sponsor Ballroom Dance Classes that focusses on the practice of learning to express through dance which builds overall confidence and increases the connection between mind and body. Students learn the Tango, Rumba, Waltz, Salsa and Free Style combinations.
We Believe Access is the Key to Learning.
Check out the Brookside Barracuda mural initiative. Thank you to muralist, Pam Olin and community volunteers. There are two murals at the campus: one at the carline and one at the bus lane
The opposite of crisis is prevention and early intervention. This is why we gather together tonight. We have the power, collectively, with our philanthropic pocketbooks as well as our time, passion, relationships, ideas to create a sustainable proactive approach to mental health wellness in our schools that can lead to resilience. My name is Amy Falk Weinberger, and I am told that I am a creative community connector. So I am asking you to join me in supporting wellness opportunities in our education communities.
