2024 ACSA Leadership Summit

In today’s educational landscape, student mental health and wellness have become critical components of a student's overall educational support. Ensuring that students are mentally and emotionally well is not only vital for their immediate success but also for their future role as effective and successful members of society. It is the responsibility of school districts to provide robust mental health support to foster an environment where students can thrive.

As the focus on increasing access to mental health supports intensifies, integrating wellness coaches into Multi-Tiered Support Systems (MTSS) emerges as a transformative strategy. This approach aims to enhance and streamline mental health support, making it more accessible and impactful for students. This presentation will provide a comprehensive overview of how to effectively plan, implement, and manage this integration to maximize its positive impact on student mental health.

Attendees will leave this presentation equipped with a practical roadmap for integrating wellness coaches into multi-tiered support systems, from initial planning through to evaluation. By implementing these strategies, schools can enhance their support for student mental health, ultimately leading to a more supportive and effective educational environment.
