The goal of the survey was to identify student behavioral health needs, inventory existing school and community-based services, and create a more coordinated, integrated, and accessible behavioral health service system for all students. Among the key needs identified from the survey results: Additional behavioral health staff, services, and partnerships More clarity and collaboration about roles and responsibilities of behavioral health staff and supporters Improved engagement of parents/guardians and key partners in student mental and behavioral health efforts Continued implementation of MTSS and PBIS (see below) Continued training on social-emotional learning, bias, and cultural responsiveness View Full Report Alameda Unified School District 2060 Challenger Dr, Alameda, CA 94501 (510) 337-7000 Phone Office Hours Mon - Fri: 8:00 am - 5:00 pm Accessibility | Non-Discrimination | Title IX © 2018 Alameda Unified School District Powered by School Loop Contact School Loop Privacy Login
