Back to School
The 2015 Back to School Toolkit is designed for MHA Affiliates, advocates, and organizations of all types to use with parents, youth and school personnel to raise awareness of the importance of talking about mental health.
By using the toolkit materials, you will help members of your community:
- Be aware of the risk factors and early warning signs for mental health disorders in youth;
- Access tools to assess the mental health of young people through use of MHA’s scientifically proven, free, anonymous, and confidential screening tools for youth and parents;
- Learn strategies for starting conversations about mental health concerns; and
- Increase understanding of next steps and treatment options available to help young people address their mental health.
