Schools play a major role in promoting the emotional wellness of our children & youth
Positive school climate can buffer youth from external risk factors
Most youth who require mental health services do not receive them
SMH accounts for >70% of all MH services – and can improve service access for underserved youth
Social-emotional learning programs improve school achievement by 11% on average (Durlaket al., 2011)
Building a SYSTEM for responding to emerging student needs is far more effective than reacting to issues as they “pop up”.
Too often our approach to responding to emerging issues in school is like the game of Whack a Mole.
