Grief counseling offered for Bethel Middle School community impacted by death of 7th grader

A 7th grader from Bethel has passed away.  Middle School student Manuela Silveira died Saturday at her home.  Superintendent Dr Christine Carver says their condolences go out to Manuela's family. 

In a letter to school district parents, she said the death of a child is a difficult topic to discuss and encouraged parents to utilize enclosed resources to help with the conversation.  The Bethel School District is providing grief counseling for any students or staff from 2pm to 4pm at Bethel Middle School. 

Carver has been in regular contact with the family and will let her know when services have been scheduled.  Any child under any type of stress given this passing, she encouraged parents to contact the child’s pediatrician for a counseling referral or outside counselor.

Any parent with a concern about a child’s immediate well-being and safety, may call 211, a crisis response hotline which will immediately connect families to local resources.
