We've been trying to address the state of well-being in our schools for decades, but the system is overwhelmed. We can either continue to spend our time, energy, and resources on more of what we've been doing for the past thirty years (without the impact we had hoped for) OR we can do something different. Improving School Mental Health makes the case that it is time to do something different. Integrating their shared experiences as teachers, mental health experts, and parents, the authors have developed a revolutionary approach that is comprehensive, yet easy to implement. It will not only improve student mental health, but it will also energize teachers and alleviate the strain they're feeling. Schools are uniquely positioned to make a significant impact on the state of mental health, but the last thing educators and families need is MORE to do. That is why the Thriving School Community solution empowers everyone involved with our nation's young people to make a positive and lasting difference!
