Features & Benefits
Educators have always been concerned with students’ well-being and healthy development. What is new is a recognition that we need to be
- more informed about mental health promotion
- more tactical about promoting healthy habits and addressing problems early
- more focused when using evidence-based strategies at the classroom, school, and community levels
How can this resource help you? The goal is to provide you with the research-based evidence, tools, and strategies to help support students’ healthy development in practical and effective ways. It is difficult to overstate the difference a teacher, or a school, can make in a child’s or youth’s mental health — not through expensive or sophisticated interventions — but through compassion, inclusion, encouragement, and effective instruction.
