Pivot2Prevention: A Toolbox for School-Based Mental Health

In high-poverty Communities of Color, opportunities for children, youth, and families to easily access consistent, relevant, high-quality, and evidence-based clinical supports are scarce. By leveraging available resources, making smart investments, and working in coordination with community partners, schools and districts are then positioned to deliver comprehensive supports to children, youth, and families.

There is no better time than the present to expand and integrate clinical and evidence-based supports into our public school systems. We encourage communities to use and disseminate the tools that we have developed and, if needed, we also provide coaching and technical assistance to support successful implementation of the tools.

If interested, please contact Rebecca Boxx at rebecca_boxx@cycprovidence.org.
