Now more than ever, mental health is a priority for California schools. Join us to learn how the School Health Assessment and Performance Evaluation (SHAPE) System can assist schools and districts in building a more comprehensive school mental health system. SHAPE is a free, web-based platform available to schools, districts, and states looking for a suite of resources and tools to facilitate continuous improvement.
In this webinar, the University of Maryland National Center for School Mental Health will provide an overview of SHAPE, including its assessment tools and resources to support implementing and ongoing monitoring of a comprehensive school mental health system. In addition, Del Norte Unified School District will share their experience with SHAPE and how it helped build district-wide school mental health capacity.
