The Stanislaus County Office of Education has partnered with Seity Health to build a foundation of support that works with a school's existing tools and processes. The evidence-based platform gives leaders the insights they need and the actions to help students, teachers, and faculty. 

Seity’s turnkey solution integrates with existing frameworks such as MTSS, PBIS, CASEL Core Competencies, etc. Seity strengthens and streamlines existing frameworks by providing formative wellbeing data and interfacing with your Student Information System and PBIS system for a 360-degree student evaluation. Seity constructs a single dashboard customized with the information your people need for intensive support, including wellbeing, academic, and behavioral data.

The Lifeguard Initiative incorporates whole health resiliency training. County Offices of Education and school districts are invited to learn more about this innovative program geared to staff and student wellness.
