Abstract

The South Carolina School Behavioral Health Academy (SBHA) has developed an online learning management system (LMS) to address the increasing behavioral health needs of school-age children. The SBHA aims to strengthen knowledge, create connections, and celebrate successes in implementing interventions for students' mental health. The LMS provides training modules on effective multitiered systems of support (MTSS) and school behavioral health, with content curated by national experts and designed to be accessible and engaging. Since its launch, the SBHA LMS has enrolled around 1,000 participants from diverse educational backgrounds, and district and school leaders play a crucial role in promoting enrollment and completion of courses. The SBHA hopes that their innovative approach will inspire similar efforts in other states to improve school behavioral health programming and support for students. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

It is imperative that educators take a positive and preventive approach to support students and promote school safety. This article addresses the importance of identifying students who need additional mental health support and providing the highest quality support. These include best practices of emphasizing strength-based approaches, working with students and families as collaborators, integrating strategies into schools' multi-tiered systems of support, using data for decision making, implementing and refining evidence-based practices, and conducting ongoing evaluation. This article reviews specific examples of positive approaches to promoting student mental health funded by the National Institute of Justice Comprehensive School Safety Initiative. These real-world research initiatives provide examples of how multi-tiered systems of support for student mental health can serve as a mechanism to promote school safety. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
