Brandy Samuell will lead participating schools and districts through a comprehensive resource assessment using foundational principles from the National Center for School Mental Health at the University of Maryland.

This collaborative process will empower schools/districts to clearly understand their existing behavioral and mental health resources, identify critical gaps, and develop a strategic plan for implementing a robust, tiered behavioral health framework.

By carefully mapping resources and developing a strategic plan, the school/district will be well-positioned to implement a tiered behavioral health framework that effectively supports the mental well-being of all students.
Resource Mapping:

Purpose: The resource mapping process aims to comprehensively identify the current behavioral and mental health resources available within the school/district.
Needs Identification: Through a detailed analysis, the assessment will highlight the specific mental health needs of the student population and evaluate how effectively current services address these needs.
Gap Analysis: This data will reveal discrepancies between existing conditions and desired outcomes, helping to identify areas where additional supports are necessary to meet pressing mental health needs.

Strategic Planning:

Creation of Action Plan / Strategic Plan: Based on the findings from the resource map, a strategic plan will be developed to guide the school/district in implementing a tiered behavioral health framework.

This framework will prioritize and outline specific actions to enhance behavioral and mental health programming, ensuring that interventions and supports are effectively tiered according to student needs.

Framework Implementation: The strategic plan will guide the implementation of a tiered behavioral health framework, which will structure supports across three levels:
