Supporting Mental Health in Iowa Schools

Research has shown that students academically achieve better when they receive social-emotional and mental health support. Good mental health is more than the absence of mental illness but also includes the areas of social-emotional-behavioral well-being and the developing coping skills to better handle life’s challenges. When schools develop mental health programming it also improves classroom behaviors, creates a more positive school climate, students feel more connected to school/staff and overall student well-being.
