Strengthening capacity, promoting health
The National Center for Mental Health Promotion and Youth Violence Prevention provides training and technical assistance to Safe Schools/Healthy Students and Project LAUNCH grantees funded by the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. National Center staff work with school districts and communities as they plan, implement, and sustain initiatives that foster resilience, promote mental health, and prevent youth violence and mental and behavioral disorders.
Project LAUNCH (Linking Actions for Unmet Needs in Children’s Health) promotes the wellness of young children from birth to 8 years of age by addressing the physical, social, and behavioral aspects of their development.
The Safe Schools/Healthy Students (SS/HS) initiative encourages schools and communities to work in partnership to create safe and healthy school environments in which youth can learn and develop.
This toolkit translates the lessons learned from the Safe Schools/Healthy Students initiative into three bold steps so communities can create safe, healthy places where children learn, play, and grow.
