flag Iowa’s Bettendorf Middle School to open brain health retreat room in 2026–27, funded by $40K grant and partnership with Brain Health Now.

flag Bettendorf Middle School in Iowa will become the state’s first middle school to open a Brain Health Retreat Room in the 2026–27 school year, funded by a $40,000 grant and a partnership with Brain Health Now. flag The room will provide a quiet, supportive space for students and staff to manage stress and emotional challenges during a critical period of brain development. flag The initiative expands a similar program at the school’s high school and aims to reduce stigma around mental health by framing well-being as part of normal adolescent development. flag The district already offers extensive mental health resources, including counselors, a therapy dog, trauma-informed training, and peer mentorship.
