MTSS Summit

This presentation will outline the importance of school mental health and the foundations of a comprehensive school mental health program. This presentation is sponsored by The Mid-America Mental Health Technology Transfer Center (MHTTC), which is supported by a SAMHSA funded grant awarded to the Behavioral Health Education Center of Nebraska at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in partnership with The Munroe-Meyer Institute. In addition to the foundations of school mental health, this presentation will provide information about the Mid-America MHTTTC as a resource and outline how to use the MHTTC for training and technical assistance needs. At the end of the session, participants will understand the importance of school mental health programming and gain knowledge about comprehensive school mental health programming. They will also be able to identify what the Mid-America MHTTC is and what purpose it serves, understand the continuum of training and technical assistance offered through the Mid-America MHTTC, identify the steps toward requesting training and technical assistance related to implementation of comprehensive school mental health training.
