Intended Audience: This session is designed for SEA and LEA team members who need to navigate the complexities of school mental health with educators and administrators. It is ideal for those with a role in developing communications content about school mental health for audiences who do not have a mental health background, such as educators, school staff, and school administrators. Note that this session does not focus on modes of communication (e.g., social media), but rather on how to develop content that effectively communicates school mental health concepts and issues to lay stakeholders.

Session overview
Why are there so many shapes, colors, and, levels of school mental health? Where do I fit into the model? What does this have to do with me (a teacher, vice principal, campus monitor)? This topical learning forum is dedicated to building capacity for Project AWARE teams invested in a shared understanding of our collective role in supporting student mental health and wellness at school. In this virtual learning session, you will learn to effectively use the many styles of visual aides and graphic designs that illustrate key aspects of school mental health. The session includes a participatory discussion, to review a new graphic design drafted to help you show adults on campus where they fit in the landscape student wellness. Together we will advance our ability effectively portray the facets of school mental health as independent but interconnected dimensions.
