Meeting Student Mental Health Needs: Lessons from Garnet Valley School District

| Previously Recorded on October 29

Listen to Garnet Valley School District leaders in a 30-minute conversation on strengthening school-based mental health supports — and what it takes to meet growing student needs with limited community resources.

Group 40255

 

When community mental health providers are at capacity, school districts are often left to fill the gaps — often balancing increasing demand, limited budgets, and the urgency to support students before issues escalate.

In this webinar, leaders from Garnet Valley School District will share how they’ve expanded access to care through a robust Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) and partnerships that connect students and families to timely, effective mental health care.

Hear how they:

  • Identified critical gaps in support 
  • Built a system that meets students where they are
  • Partnered with Cartwheel to expand access to clinical care — without waitlists
  • Engaged families in a proactive, compassionate approach
