This course (1-hour Asynchronous Distance Learning) focused on utilizing data to improve Tier 1 Mental Health Education in schools. A recent study on Youth Help-Seeking Around Mental Health examines the impact of skills-based, mental health education curricula in grades 5-12. The data is from student pre/post evaluations focusing on the identification of trusted adults and the students’ comfort in speaking with a trusted adult. The study and presentation provide clear recommendations for educators, classrooms and schools. Participants will learn about the latest data, impact of classroom-based interventions, and how to leverage data in their own classrooms to improve outcomes. Learning Goals:  Participants will recognize the latest data regarding young people’s ability to identify trusted adults and understand where they are comfortable speaking with a trusted adult. Participants will implement and apply recommendations in their own classrooms and schools to improve student help-seeking and program outcomes. Participants will discover educational programs and resources (for students, educators, and parents) focused on mental health, as well as access to a data center to leverage local school or district-level data.
