SCHOOL-BASED NEWS


In the wake of COVID-19 school closures, educators, parents, and students across the globe are coping with a new reality. In this four-part webinar series, we will explore research on belonging and connectedness, the key tenants of virtual communication for educators, and effective strategies for building virtual connectedness.

Classroom WISE (Wellbeing Information and Strategies for Educators) is a free mental health literacy course for teachers and school staff! These resources will present concrete, universal approaches to promoting student mental health and creating safe and supportive classroom environments, describe student behaviors that may indicate a mental health concern, and provide specific skills and strategies to engage and support students with mental health concerns.
The MHTTC Network is hosting an 8-part training series using the National School Mental Health Best Practices: Implementation Guidance Modules for States, Districts, and Schools. This resource was developed by the MHTTC Network in partnership with the National Center for School Mental Health (NCSMH) and aims to help states, districts and schools advance comprehensive school mental health and engage in a planning process for implementation.
