Best Practices to Address Mental Health and School Safety Concerns
Mental Health and Violence Prevention Initiatives are top of mind for parents, educators, students, and community members alike. The White House is calling for a major transformation of our mental health system and is investing heavily in activities that support this agenda.
The Department of Education is issuing new guidance to schools, colleges and universities on the use of existing ARPA relief funds for mental health and related purposes. Additionally, there are a variety of discretionary federal grant programs that fund these types of initiatives, enabling ongoing communication and training with local law enforcement and mental health providers, as well as funding the communication systems and technologies that provide safety features such as gun-shot detection, automatic door locking, automated alerts, etc.
