“Mental health and wellness have profound implications for our students, their academic success,
 and their overall outcomes, and we know that youth facing mental health challenges are more
 likely to receive services in a school-based setting.”

  - Miguel Cardona, U.S. Secretary of Education

Join us for this one-day workshop with your school or district team to learn more about:

• Anxiety, depression, and impacts of trauma.
• Crisis response and recovery related to behavioral health in small and large–scale critical incidents and disasters.
• Common mental and behavioral health symptoms, as well as underlying contributing factors that play out in a classroom setting, and effective practices and strategies to support all students within a Multi-Tiered System of Supports.
• The role of School and District Leadership in implementation and strategies for school and system leaders.
• New autism research and interventions to support autistic students within an MTSS.
• Free resources from state, regional and national TA centers.
   

National, regional and state mental health technical assistance providers, practitioners, licensed mental health professionals, and researchers with the University of Washington School Mental Health Assessment, Research and Training Center will help you get your journey started, or enhance, implementation of effective systems, data and practices to integrate student mental health and wellness.
