Why Mental Health Programs in Schools: Being able to recognize and support children and youth mental health in schools matters because:

​

  • Mental health challenges are common and often develop during childhood and adolescence

  • Mental Health issues are treatable

  • Early detection and intervention strategies work. They can help improve resilience and the ability to succeed in school & life

  • Academic performance and personal relationships with family and friends can improve

  • Access to mental health services is easier and more convenient for students and their families

  • Mental health in schools can help to  remove the stigma often associated with seeking mental health services

  • Discipline problems and classroom distractions can be reduced

  • Teachers can spend more time teaching
