Education
Education plays a critical role in the development of children. Positive learning experiences help to prevent emotional and behavioral problems. Schools provide a logical setting for both early identification of children at risk for serious emotional and behavioral health needs and for effective provision of services. Therefore, education is a major partner within a system of care.
The section provides access to up-to-date information, events, funding opportunities, and resources related to educational services and the needs of children and families in the education system; related to addressing the mental health needs of children, youth and families in the education system; and related to effectively partnering in creating a system of care to address those needs.
