Case Study: Bristol Virginia Public Schools connects students to mental health resources with Edlio

How Bristol, Virginia Public Schools Connect Their Students with Mental Health Resources in the Community

Bristol Virginia Public Schools faced significant challenges with student mental health, drug abuse, and suicide risk, including a worrying increase in fentanyl-related overdoses. To combat this, the district sought to raise awareness and connect students with vital resources, using their school website, powered by Edlio, as a central hub for this effort.

Using the Edlio CMS, the district quickly built a "Thrive Line" resource page with a form for students to refer peers for help. Edlio’s technology enabled the creation of this page and accompanying QR codes within a week and a half. The solution saw immediate measurable impact, with the page receiving significant traffic and the in-school QR codes being scanned over 100 times in the first few days, successfully connecting students to critical support services.
