      <image:title>About - How do schools pay for these healthcare services?</image:title>
      <image:caption>HEAL teaches school districts how to use state education dollars to access federal Medicaid dollars. This does not cost the school or the state any additional money. These health services provided by in-school providers do not count against a student’s individual Medicaid benefit limit. This means that schools can continue to provide medically necessary health services in the school, using the federal funds to sustain them.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Partnerships - As part of their senior project, these LSU graduate students created and led an Emotional Wellness class.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The grad students administered “Emotional IQ” tests and worked with tools such as the “Feelings Chart” to provide children with tools to identify their feelings, vocabulary words to articulate them, and ways to manage their feelings and regulate their own behavior. HEAL also works with LSU students to create and teach hygiene classes in schools.</image:caption>
