Comprehensive school mental health systems utilize a multi-tiered framework that is grounded in universal mental health promotion efforts. To support students at risk of developing a mental health condition or with existing mental health needs, schools must consider supports and strategies for identification, intervention, and crisis response. This presentation will overview key considerations and best practices for school-based practitioners, school teams, and community partners working to meet the needs of these students and their families. National and state resources to support comprehensive school mental health efforts will be highlighted and shared.
