Subject: The SHAPE System.....You may have noticed some changes!

Dear SHAPE Users:

The updated SHAPE system is here! If you have visited SHAPE recently, you may have noticed some exciting changes. The National Center for School Mental Health team spent the past year gathering feedback on the SHAPE System and used it to redesign SHAPE. SHAPE now offers new features and resources, including the recently released School Mental Health Quality Assessment and School Mental Health Profile, in addition to a robust Resource Center and Screening & Assessment Library.

What does this mean for previous SHAPE users?
Your previous data are available at legacy.theSHAPEsystem.comThere is a link to the legacy site at the bottom of every page of your new SHAPE account. Existing team members from the legacy site have been added to your new SHAPE account. However, legacy data are not available in the new SHAPE system. We recommend updating your data annually, so the next time you enter SHAPE data should be into the updated system.

See below to learn more about the exciting new features, and please contact us with any questions you have regarding this transition.

Thanks,
The NCSMH Team
SHAPE provides reports and resources for school and district teams to improve the quality of your school mental health system in 7 domains: Teaming, Needs Assessment & Resource Mapping, Screening, Mental Health Promotion Services & Supports, Early Intervention & Treatment Services & Supports, Funding & Sustainability, and Impact. You can complete Quality Assessment domains individually or as a team to view and download your team’s Summary Report.
Explore the Resource Center!
Use SHAPE resources to turn your report results into action! In addition to the Resource Center, we curated a Screening and Assessment Library with free or low-cost measures for student mental health, school climate, and much more!

Trauma Responsiveness
Do you or your team want to learn more about Trauma Responsiveness? Complete the Trauma Responsive School Implementation Assessment (TRS-IA).

When you complete the School Mental Health Profile, you will get a report on the structure and operations of your school mental health system, including:
