Inver Grove Heights Middle School Announcements

Wednesday, January 27

Hello IGHMS Community,

I want to introduce you to the "Students for Change" group.  This is a group of students  that were chosen to listen to the concerns (race, ethnicity, distant or online learning, bullying, etc..) of the students of Inver Grove Heights Middle School.  We meet 1-2 times a month to discuss concerns that have been brought to their attention and bring those concerns to the administration and staff of IGHMS.

If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to one of these members and let them know your concern so we can discuss in our meetings.

Thank you for your time,

Matt Chappuis

Students For Change Advisor

Community Health and Innovation

Mental Health First Aid

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) introduces the risk factors and warning signs of common mental health and substance use disorders, builds understanding of their impact, and reviews support options. The interactive course teaches participants how to offer initial help to an individual who may be experiencing a mental health concern or crisis and connect them to the appropriate professional, peer, social, and self-care resources. MHFA is currently being offered in a hybrid format of two hours of self-study and four and a half hours of live virtual group learning.

Who should attend? 

This community-based education class is open to the public and intended for people interested in increasing their mental health literacy and skills. Anyone working or living in the community will benefit from this interactive class.
