EDU 8021 - School-Based Mental Health

Schools, more now than ever, are being asked to address the mental health needs of students. In order to be responsive, schools need to develop a multi-tiered system of support that provides mental health/behavioral health services. Schools providing mental health services, and/or partnering with community providers to do so, is believed to be an effective delivery model. This class will examine some of the important considerations administrators must address in order to develop and provide effective mental health services. Select topics will include: . Threat Assessment . School Climate . Systems of Psychotherapy . Trauma-informed Care . Suicide Assessment . Empirically based Treatments . Diversity Equity Inclusion & Belonging (DEIB)/Cultural Responsiveness . SHAPE Assessment . Quality Indicators of Emotional Support Services and Programs (QIESSP) . Professional Ethics . Restorative Practices . Grant Writing . Depression and Anxiety (symptoms, measurement, and treatment options)
