 Student Mental Wellness
​​

 Overview

 

Student mental health is critical to success in school and in life. A school climate in which adults maintain consistent expectations and teach positive social interactions greatly increase a child's mental wellness. In addition, when adults are trained to recognize early warning signs of stress and mental health concerns, schools can use strategies to increase protective factors and provide early intervention through appropriate school-based services and partnerships with other experts. Mental health services for children and youth are most effective when provided as a continuum of care that integrates school, family, and community in a Multi-tiered System of Supports.​ Placer County Office of Education offers support for those struggling with mental illness, including preventative assistance to help students maintain optimal mental health.
