On behalf of our team at The National Resource Center for Mental Health Promotion and Youth Violence Prevention, we want to thank you for joining our Safe Schools/Healthy Students (SS/HS) Webinar: Making Schools and Students Safer on Wednesday, September 26, 2018.

Participants learned how the Safe Schools/Healthy Students model has made schools and communities healthier and safer, as well as learned about the Safe Schools Framework Implementation Toolkit (FIT), which can be accessed at safeschoolstools.org.

Intervention Services to Prevent Behavioral Health Problems

Each of Wisconsin’s LEAs: Racine, Menominee and Beloit, convened a SS/HS Core Management Team (CMT) to collaboratively lead, plan, and implement local SS/HS strategies to address the needs of students, families, and community. Needs assessment data confirmed that substance use was a serious concern leading to the implementation of alcohol and other drug abuse (AODA) screenings, prevention, and intervention services to prevent behavioral health problems. 

Wisconsin Using the Pyramid Model to Expand SEL

Wisconsin’s SS/HS State Team and LEA’s worked in collaboration with the state Pyramid Model Implementation Team to expand early childhood social emotional learning (SEL) and development across the state through 1) broad implementation of the Pyramid Model, and 2) improving early identification of children at risk for SEL difficulties. By 2017, Wisconsin had 20 additional Ages and Stages Questionnaires: Social-Emotional (ASQ-SE) trainers with the capacity to reach 180 districts and community partners; and 103 new Positive Solutions for Families trainers.

Ohio’s Evidence-Based Interventions for Safe Schools

The Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) and the PAX Good Behavior Game are evidence-based programs (EBPs) that appear on the National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices (NREPP). These classroom-based universal preventive intervention provides teachers’ strategies to grow nurturing classroom environments, foster social-emotional health, improve students’ attention and focus to academic tasks, provides trauma-informed prevention strategies to use as classroom management practices.
