Project AWARE

The Chariho Regional School District is bolstering mental health services and training in the coming year, thanks in part to a federal subgrant awarded by the Rhode Island Department of Education.

Chariho will receive $424,995.75 through funding secured for Rhode Island in the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which School Superintendent Gina Picard said the district would use for the expansion of the Project AWARE RI program secured during the 2022-23 school year. The district was one of 12 that received grants and was awarded just short of the maximum allowed of $425,000.
