Application: Virtual Mental Wellness Collaborative

AASA members need strategies to support, bolster and develop mental wellness for students and the adults that serve them.

AASA is seeking three new districts to be a part of virtual collaborative to share best practices in mental wellness, positive youth development, avoiding/preventing risky behaviors and practices, and raising awareness of nicotine-derived products for school staff and students.

The three selected districts will join AASA's Community of Practice, where they will receive technical assistance and coaching and participate in a virtual collaborative to share best practices.

In 2027, AASA's team will visit each district to interview groups of middle and high school students about mental health and risky behaviors in your school community.

The three newly selected districts will receive a stipend for their participation to support and strengthen their youth mental wellness efforts.
