Using a Culturally Responsive, Antiracist, and Equitable Approach to School Mental Health.

Amidst a national youth mental health crisis, comprehensive school mental health systems offer an opportunity to promote positive mental health for all students. To advance health equity, schools benefit from a culturally responsive, antiracist, and equitable (CARE) framework to address the youth mental health crisis. This article describes how to integrate CARE practices within a multi-tiered system of support for mental health in schools. The strategies align with a trauma-informed approach and aim to enhance the capacity of comprehensive school mental health systems to promote positive mental health and well-being for all students.
