Mental Health Promotion in the School Setting
Mental Health Promotion in the School Setting ECHO is a structured forum for those working with students in Maine schools to bring forward complicated behavioral health cases for review and recommendations. The ECHO learning series will be delivered by MCD Global Health as a complement to the existing offerings of the Maine Pediatric & Behavioral Health Partnership, a partnership between Maine CDC, Northern Light Acadia Hospital and MaineHealth.
Program Goal: To create a virtual learning environment for participants to bring forward complex behavioral health cases to colleagues and a panel of subject matter experts for review and recommendations.
Objective 1: To develop increased comfort and confidence to foster positive social, emotional and behavioral skills and well-being of all students
Objective 2: To share best-practices for implementation of tier one services for overall mental health.
Objective 3: To foster strong connections between individuals supporting students and the broader community.
Objective 4: To create user-friendly mental health promotion toolkits by leveraging local experts and resources.
