- Visit the SBFC Virtual Teen Center, a resource created by teens for teens, for information and videos to help youth connect and de-stress in healthy ways as we stay safer at home.

The group is moderated by Dr. Moe Gelbart of the Thelma McMillen Recovery Center and focuses on various social-emotional wellness topics. Please visit the SBFC Virtual Events page for details.

PARENTS AS TEACHERS CHATS:
RBUSD is excited to bring you "Parents as Teachers" chats to assist families in supporting the social/emotional needs of their children in the home. These chats are being created to address the specific supports requested by families in the recent RBUSD Fall 2020 Family Distance Learning survey.
