About Us
The School Mental Health Collaborative promotes access to high-quality, evidence-based, and culturally-responsive school mental health practices. We are a national, interconnected network of researchers, practitioners, and family and youth advocates. Our work is grounded in social justice to reduce inequalities in school mental health systems and practices. We partner with schools to find ways to support the mental health of children and adolescents in the classroom.
