Mental Health Awareness: Strategies to Support Inclusive and Innovative Care of Students Year Round

As we conclude Mental Health Awareness Month, over a year into the declaration of youth mental health as a national crisis, it’s clear that mental health will continue to be a primary focus of our nation’s education system—throughout the year and across educational settings. Given the compounding effects of isolation and trauma coming out of the pandemic, it is essential to understand how policymakers, school leaders, educators, and communities can work together to provide the care all students need.

This edWebinar will explore the challenges and opportunities of providing mental health supports for students in a post-pandemic era. The presenters will go beyond discussing generalities and deep dive into real issues schools are facing. They will discuss inclusive care practices and innovative delivery models that ensure students have equitable access to critical supports that enable their long-term growth and success. This session will cover:

• Recent policy and funding updates at the federal, state, and local levels
• Strategies for addressing barriers to accessing mental health care for underserved students
• Recent data on what support parents are looking to schools to offer
• Takeaways on the future of providing mental health supports to students
