School administrators, faculty, and support staff are facing increasing pressure to respond to a host of unmet mental health needs of students in K-12. This training introduces participants to a resource guide that provides understanding of unique mental health training and technical assistance needs of schools serving rural and remote communities. Underscoring the purpose of the document was a recognition that schools, communities, and families often lack “comprehensive treatment and services for children and youth.” That is particularly true in rural communities.
