Student mental health and well-being are foundational to learning and preparing students for success beyond the classroom. Through safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environments students build the social, emotional, and behavioral skills needed to develop healthy relationships, understand their emotions, resolve conflict, and advocate for their needs. In collaboration with families, community organizations, and providers, schools can help ensure that students receive the right level of support at the right time to thrive in school, at home, and in the community.
