Subject: Two Learning Collaborative Opportunities

 

The National Center for School Mental Health (NCSMH) is hosting two learning collaborative opportunities to advance school mental health!

District Opportunity

The National Center for Safe Supportive Schools (NCS3), a Category II Center of the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN), invites school districts to apply to participate in a 2-year national learning collaborative that accelerates and spreads innovation and improvement in the advancement of culturally responsive, trauma-informed school mental health systems. This learning collaborative intentionally integrates these essential components to better promote equity and well-being for all students and staff. Participating districts and schools will receive training, technical assistance, implementation support, and guidance to effectively create the conditions needed for safe supportive schools.

 

An informational webinar will be hosted on Wednesday, March 17, 2021 from 12-1pm ET.
