All members of school communities (educators, administrators, SRPs, students and their families) are facing unprecedented stressors. The School Mental Health Resource and Training Center (SMHRTCenter), is designed to help cultivate school communities rooted in resilience and mental wellbeing. Along with examining the unique stressors which exist in schools, the presentation will explain the numerous ways the SMHRTCenter collaborates with schools (at no cost to schools) to provide tools for every member of a school community to prioritize their own mental wellbeing as well as demonstrate how the school community can work together to create a culture of caring and support.
