You can help this effort in two ways. First, if you know a teacher or school administrator, tell them about MMSAP. They can find more information on Freemason.com. Second, your financial support will help assure this important program continues. Please consider a gift to the Grand Lodge Charitable Foundation and designate MMSAP in the memo field of your check.
MMSAP teaches school personnel how they can work together at their school to identify an at-risk child, gather the necessary information about the child, and then develop a school-based action plan appropriate to the specific needs of the child.
One-day Workshop topics include:
- Family dynamics
- Life skills for K-12
- Enabling and codependency
- Alcohol and >drug abuse
- Depression
- Suicide
- Team work
- Group dynamics
- Leadership skills
MMSAP provides specific strategies for identification and intervention in the areas of academics, health, behavior and attendance. Teams also learn about locally available assistance for children who need outside help.
MMSAP falls under the umbrella of the National Masonic Foundation for Children (NMFC). NMFGC was formed in 1986 and is a nationwide 501c(3) organization supported by Masonic Grand Lodges, allied Masonic organizations in North America and other concerned individuals and organizations. Since 1986, 50,000 educators have been trained and 500,000 school children have been referred to and assisted by MMSAP trained educators.
