    Summary

    The School-Based Mental Health Services Grant Program provides funding to support the development and sustainability of Comprehensive School Mental Health Systems (CSMHS). A CSMHS provides an array of supports and services that promote positive school climate, social and emotional learning, and mental health and well-being, while reducing the prevalence and severity of mental illness. They are built on a strong foundation of school professionals in strategic partnership with students, caregivers, and community health and mental health partners. A CSMHS assesses and addresses the social and environmental factors that impact mental health, including policies and social norms that shape mental health outcomes. In collaboration with a community mental health provider, grantees provide a continuum of mental health supports that promote the well-being of students and school staff. For more information on CSMHS, refer to Appendix A or Wisconsin's School Mental Health Framework.


    Applicants that have demonstrated needs for additional resources to support comprehensive school mental health will create a plan with evidence-based strategies to address those needs. Those who demonstrate readiness to implement their plan will be prioritized. Readiness includes identifying a stakeholder team and corresponding roles, stakeholder engagement process(es), and plans for future stakeholder engagement. All grantees must have a community mental health partner to collaborate in the planning and implementation of the action plan. Community mental health partners may provide a variety of roles, including, but not limited to: treatment services, consultation, training, or serve on school mental health implementation teams.
