The Central East Mental Health Technology Transfer Center (MHTTC) has contracted with the National Center for School Mental Health (NCSMH) to participate in a 4-month learning community on school well-being. This learning collaborative will provide support and facilitate knowledge acquisition, skill attainment, and implementation support related to helping school systems meet the well-being needs of educators and the school systems themselves. 

The collaborative will allow education leaders to learn alongside Project AWARE (Advancing Wellness and Resilience in Education) grantees and other education leaders from across the region and contribute to cross-site sharing of school mental health best practices, information, and resources.

Project AWARE is a SAMHSA-funded initiative focused on the mental health of youth in schools, aged 12-17. Project AWARE funds state, tribal, territorial, and local education agencies to increase awareness of youth mental health; provide mental health training to school personnel and other adults who interact with youth; and connect youth and their families to mental health services.

Outcomes include:

• Learning about best practices for school well-being at organization and staff levels from Subject Matter Experts from the NCSMH
• Building individual and collective capacity for promoting and supporting sustainable school well-being efforts
• Establishing and receiving feedback on quality improvement goals
