Making Sense of School Mental Health: A New Graphic Tool on the Role of Teachers

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. 

Learning Objectives

Participants who join this session will be able to:

  1. Recognize the utility and limitations of existing school mental health graphic designs.
  2. Strategically integrate graphic designs to support communication about school mental health.
  3. Adopt a graphic toolkit designed to illustrate the role of teachers and supporting adults in school mental health in the classroom and around campus.

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, we explore many styles of visual aides and graphic designs that illustrate key aspects of school mental health. We will review tools for using the collaboratively designed graphic that illustrates the role of teachers in school mental health, a resource 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.
