The conference emphasizes a shared school-family-community agenda to bring mental health promotion, prevention, and intervention to students and families as part of a multi-tiered system of supports. This conference is hosted by the National Center for School Mental Health (NCSMH). If you have any questions, please contact the NCSMH team at 410-706-0980 or ncsmh@som.umaryland.edu.
