The team at Marshall University School Health Technical Assistance Center (MUSHTAC) in the School of Medicine’s Division of Community Health just released the second video in a 12-video series that will deepen watchers’ understanding of expanded school mental health. The second video, “Tier One Implementation of the WV Expanded School Mental Health Framework” is a closer look at implementing Tier 1 universal prevention programs. It includes a discussion of what Tier 1 looks like, what it is all about, important components, and expected outcomes. MUSHTAC is working on the full playlist and expects to release one video each month. Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel so that you don’t miss any of them!
