The Botvin LifeSkills Training program is ahighly effective substance abuse and violence prevention program. Students, depending on their grade, will be interacting with the Botvin program in either Physical Education, Health, Wellness, or in sessions with school counselors. otvin LifeSkills Training is a program that has been proven to work in more than 35 published studies. Journals such as the Journal of the American Medical Association have reported how students who have participated in the Botvin LifeSkills Training program have demonstrated resistance to alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use. These effects have been shown to last for up to 12 years after students have participated in the program. We are pleased to have the opportunity to incorpqrate this program into our academic day.

We’re excited to share that Mercy Community Healthcare is now offering on-site therapy for students in grades 7–12 at Cornersville School.
Thanks to an expansion of Mercy’s Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) grant, Cornersville students now have direct access to a licensed therapist right at school — making it easier than ever to get support for emotional, behavioral, and mental health needs.
Mercy’s school-based therapy program provides:
• Confidential counseling during the school day
• Support for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes
• Help with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges
• Collaboration with families, teachers, and school staff to ensure students thrive both in and out of the classroom
By bringing therapy directly into the school environment, Mercy removes common barriers like travel, scheduling conflicts, and missed class time — making it possible for more students to get the help they need, when they need it.
