Project Summary:
Advancing Behavioral Health Initiative Phase I
Improving Children's Mental Health Through School and Community Partnerships is a project within AHW's Advancing Behavioral Health Initiative, an eight-year, $20 million initiative bringing together 10 community coalitions from across Wisconsin to address pressing mental health needs within their communities. A three-phase initiative, phase one served as a funded learning and planning phase, supporting community coalitions in developing a critical project focus and implementation plan.
Through this project, partners sought to develop an implementation plan that would improve behavioral health of Racine Unified School District students by integrating expanded mental health services, including professional development regarding mental health and trauma-informed care for school staff into schools.
