Overview
With support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, 15 sites across the U.S. developed model mental health programs that engage schools, families, students, mental health agencies and other community organizations to build effective, easily-accessible services for children and youth.
Each of the 15 funded sites describes its objectives, target populations, community partners and services provided. New resources will be added to each of the Grantee’s pages in the upcoming months. Check the bottom of each page to see what’s new!
