* Tier 2 mental health interventions in schools are for students with mild mental health concerns or for those who may be at greater risk for experiencing mental health challenges, often due to social and environmental factors.
The Central East MHTTC in collaboration with the National Center for School Mental Health is pleased to offer a school mental health webinar series with a focus on advancing high quality, sustainable school mental health from a multi-tiered system of support, trauma sensitive, and culturally responsive and equitable lens. To familiarize yourself with the foundations of school mental health, please review the school mental health guidance document.
