Handle with care

Handle with Care logo

The "Handle With Care" Model

 If a law enforcement officer encounters a child during a call, that child’s information is forwarded to the school before the school bell rings the next day. The school implements individual, class and whole school trauma-sensitive curricula so that traumatized children are “Handled With Care". If a child needs more intervention, on-site trauma-focused mental healthcare is available at the school.

Information about the Handle With Care Pilot Program in North Carolina was presented on June 15, 2021 at the North Carolina Prevention Conference. This video recording provides more extensive information.

“Handle with Care further emphasizes the strength of our community to protect our youth."

"... safer students are more successful students."

 “Educators looking to wrap support all of the way around our students know that safer students are more successful students. Programs like Handle With Care allow school counselors, school social workers, teachers, and other school staff to more quickly respond when something in a young person's environment has the potential to adversely affect the student's social or emotional well-being -and their ability to learn.” -Matt Gruebmeyer, Director of Student Services, Henderson County Public Schools
