City of Peabody Task Force: Action Team Sign Up
An Action Team is a collaborative group of individuals who are interested in helping with a particular project. The group will work together to achieve a common goal: to plan and conduct projects pertaining to bullying, mental health, positive youth development and more.

Each Action Team will meet for up to 12 weeks and will complete work through meetings and via email. At the end of the scheduled meetings you may decide to sign up for another Action Team or take a break from participating.

The steering committee for the City of Peabody Task Force understands that oftentimes people are unable or reluctant to enter into a long‐term or open‐ended commitment. An Action Team is designed to have a start and end date for each project in order for members to avoid feeling inundated with responsibilities or allow members to participate on various Action Teams.

If the Action Team that you are involved in requires youth participation all members will be required to complete a CORI release form before attending a meeting.

The City of Peabody Task Force appreciates the overwhelming response from individuals. There is a lot of work ahead of us, and we welcome anyone who would like to collaborate as a team and contribute to our community's success. If you have any questions please contact the City of Peabody Division of Social Services at 978-538-6339 or socialservices@peabodypolice.org

Thank you,

An immediate project is for the Higgins Student Support Center - how do we communicate with students to build trust between students and staff and how do we get middle school students to utilize the Higgins Student Support Center?Community Projects and Outreach: The Community Projects and Outreach action team will develop community wide creative projects such as a campaign, mural or photo project that will exhibit the assets of our community and foster understanding, empathy, and acceptance of individuals with diverse abilities. These projects should also highlight positive stories and achievements to reduce stigma as well as the role of Social Services in providing support to families outside of the school setting. Community outreach will focus on building connections for at-risk populations such as students with special needs, LGBTQ+ and youth experiencing housing insecurity and financial hardship.School Based Structures and Resources: The School Based Structures and Resources STAT will work to operationalize and communicate school policies, procedures and resources that are available to students, parents, faculty, and community members.
