Purpose and Functions
Guided by Legislation and supported by Strong Schools...Strong Communities referendum, the Department of Behavioral and Mental Health expands access to mental health support and increases awareness of mental health through 3 key messages:
Mental health is our ability to live fully, engage with others, and respond to challenges.
It’s OK to be OK. It’s OK to not be OK. It’s OK to ask for help.
Schools have highly trained and skilled professionals in place to support student mental health.
