District Recognizes Holistic Child Champions During National Mental Health Awareness Week
Doddridge County, WV – May 12–16 marks National Mental Health Awareness Week, a time to highlight the importance of mental well-being and to honor those who go above and beyond to support it. In recognition of this vital week, the Doddridge County Schools Holistic Child Team is proud to celebrate five exceptional staff members who have been named the 2025 Holistic Child Champions for Mental Health.
These individuals have shown outstanding dedication to student wellness by serving as advocates, role models, and trusted adults within their school communities. Their commitment helps foster safe, supportive environments where students feel comfortable seeking guidance and mental health support.
🏅 2025 Holistic Child Champions for Mental Health:
• Countywide – Cole Griffin
• DCELA – Lisa Talkington
• DCES – Myra Lipscomb
• DCMS – Nicole Davis
• DCHS – Rhonda Travis
These staff members were nominated for consistently showing empathy, taking initiative to support students in need, and working closely with the Holistic Child Team to advance student mental health initiatives across the district.
“We are incredibly grateful for the work these individuals do every day,” said Scott Cochran, Superintendent. “Their commitment to student well-being plays a critical role in creating safe, inclusive learning environments where all students can thrive.”
As we observe Mental Health Awareness Week, Doddridge County Schools extends heartfelt thanks to these champions—and to all staff who support the mental and emotional health of our students each and every day. We would also like to thank the Doddridge County Family Resource Center for their donation of gifts to our nominees.
