November Mental & Behavioral Health
Hello and welcome to November!
As the holiday season approaches, November offers a unique time to pause and reflect on the importance of wellness and gratitude within our school communities. This month, we focus on strengthening our support for students, staff, and families as we enter a season that can bring both joy and stress. In this issue, you'll find resources to help you foster a culture of care, insights on creating trauma-sensitive environments, and tools to empower your teams in promoting mental well-being for all. Thank you for your dedication to building resilient, compassionate school communities—together, we are making a difference every day.
Meet Michelle Cantu
We want to take a moment to introduce you to the faces behind Region 10’s Mental & Behavioral Health Special Populations team. Each month, we'll highlight a member of our team, giving you the chance to get to know us better.
Michelle is a dedicated Mental and Behavioral Health Consultant with a decade of experience at Region 10, where she’s passionate about helping teachers and students implement effective strategies for success. In November, she and her husband, David, will celebrate two years of marriage. Her son, John Michael, is a Texas Tech graduate and works with the university’s men’s basketball team, while her daughter, Katelynn, is a senior at Rockwall High School. On weekends, you might find Michelle working at Bath and Body Works in Rockwall to support her habit of shopping.
