REGIONAL SCHOOL MENTAL HEALTH INITIATIVE
What is the Regional School Mental Health Initiative?
The Regional School Mental Health Initiative strengthens how schools across our region support student mental health, wellness, and substance use prevention. This initiative brings together districts, public health, behavioral health providers, and community partners to create a coordinated, prevention‑focused system that helps students thrive.
Our Purpose
We help schools build consistent, high‑quality mental health and prevention practices by offering shared learning, practical tools, and regional alignment. This initiative reduces duplication, increases clarity, and ensures every district—large or small—has access to the same strong foundation of support.
School Network
The School Network is a monthly virtual gathering designed to help districts stay informed, aligned, and supported in their mental health and substance use prevention work.
Safe School Meetings
Safe School Meetings bring together schools and community partners to problem‑solve around student safety, mental health, behavior, and family support. These meetings help schools respond proactively, compassionately, and in partnership with the systems that serve students.
