A comprehensive school-based mental health plan starts with good information about the needs of your students and existing mental health resources. In this interactive session, we will review best practices for gathering needs and resource data and share tools and examples. We will discuss local challenges and successes and provide recommendations for gathering community data and using it to inform local school mental health planning.
