This snapshot highlights key characteristics of effective school mental health (SMH) and the strategies that 13 federally funded Safe Schools/Healthy Students (SS/HS) grantees have used to build and sustain comprehensive mental health programs.

Supportive school discipline is a systemic constellation of programs and practices that promote positive behaviors while preventing negative or risky behaviors. It is positive rather than punitive, and aims to create a safe learning environment that enhances all students’ outcomes.

This report presents the final results of the Foundations of Learning (FOL) demonstration, which evaluated an intervention designed to train pre-school teachers to better manage children

In 2012, the National Center for Mental Health Promotion and Youth Violence Prevention set out to discover how Safe Schools/Healthy Students (SS/HS) grantees from the 1999–2006 fiscal year (FY) cohorts had been able to sustain major components of their SS/HS work after the end of their funding.

This guide proposes strategies communities can consider to promote the types of relationships and environments that help children grow up to be healthy and productive citizens so that they, in turn, can build stronger and safer families and communities for their children.
