The Pacific Southwest Mental Health Technology Transfer Center (MHTTC) is proud to present a series of upcoming, NO-COST trainings in collaboration with the California School-Based Health Alliance for educators, clinicians, school-based health providers, and other professionals working with young people. Optional CEUs are available for a fee.

Many educators have expressed concern that not all students who need mental health-related supports in their schools are receiving them, and often mental health needs become severe before supports are provided.  This workshop will introduce educators to practical tools and strategies to improve students’ early access to care for mental health needs. Presented within a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) framework, topics will include: establishing effective referral management systems, establishing a problem-solving team, mapping school- and community-based mental health resources across MTSS tiers, performing universal screening, tracking mental health referrals and monitoring intervention progress within and across youth-serving systems, and monitoring mental health intervention effectiveness for individuals.  This training is provided at no cost; however, space is limited.
