Community Partnership
The purpose of the program is to address gaps in opportunity and the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on interrupted learning by developing or expanding relationships between schools, community-based organizations, and mental health providers to benefit the well-being of children, parents, and school staff.
The program will support local efforts to develop comprehensive school systems grounded in mental health and trauma-informed practices by achieving the following goals:
Provide communities the flexibility to determine the best approach to respond to the local mental health needs.
Allow funds to be used for a range of responses, from prevention to early intervention to treatment.
Support local efforts to integrate programs focused on non-cognitive development (social, emotional, and behavioral) and mental wellness for children.
