BARBOURSVILLE Ƶ An estimated 164 faculty members of Cabell County Schools have been trained how to identify and address mental health needs in students thanks to the work of three Barboursville Middle School faculty members.

Phyllis Samuel, Sarah Fox and Jessy Scott were trained as instructors for the Youth Mental Health First Aid program in the summer of 2023 in response to mental health issues teachers noticed many students were experiencing.
