This premier interdisciplinary conference focuses on school mental health and unites local, state, national, and international experts to advance knowledge and skills related to school mental health practice, research, training, and policy. The conference emphasizes a shared school-family-community agenda to promote mental health, prevent issues, and provide interventions for students and families as part of a multi-tiered system of support.
