Mental Health in Schools Research Highlights
»Mental Health in Schools - Research Highlights
Chapman University I Attallah College of Educational Studies
The Attallah College of Educational Studies' Mental Wellth Project offers Mental Health in Schools Toolkits and downloadable resources for educators, parents, and school-age kids.
To promote mental wellness and share mental health resources, Dr. Amy Jane Griffiths and Chapman University students in its M.A. in School Counseling and Ed.S. in School Psychology graduate programs created the materials here to increase mental health literacy and reduce the stigma of mental health concerns. All the toolkits, handouts, videos, and worksheets were created by Chapman graduate students for K-12 students, their families, and educators in the field and are available free of charge.
This site includes Mental Health in Schools Toolkits, mental health disorder one-page resources and videos, and distance learning handouts organized by both audience (parents, educators, and children) and grade level.
