Project AWARE is a grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) that the Kelso School District received in the Spring of 2023. The grant is spread over five years to both build and grow mental health services and behavioral health education within our district. It is the vision of OSPI and the Kelso School District that all young learners can be successful. Mental health professionals, educators, staff, and community members who have behavioral health training are integral to this success.
