Project ACTIVATE

Cleveland County Schools

CCS's Project ACTIVATE grant ended at the end of the 2022-2023 school year. We are so thankful for the work that we completed, the local and state policies that we advanced, and how our culture has been transformed to better support students and families with their mental health.

Project ACTIVATE works to provide a continuum of Social Emotional, behavioral, and mental health services for Cleveland County students. Project ACTIVATE builds on and improves existing services in the school setting through the Multi-Tiered Systems of Support framework.
