Mental Health Cohort

Take action for mental health.

Child looking out of the window

AASA’s new cohort will build on our ‘Live Well. Lead Well’ campaign to connect district leaders committed to serving the mental and general health of each other, their staff, and their communities. We will work together to develop strategic plans to increase mental health services and support for all constituents, improve mental well-being for the school community, and program sustainability. Participants will connect with others in national leadership positions eager to create a coalition committed to taking action.

To reduce barriers to participation in the AASA Mental Health Cohort, The Jed Foundation is generously offering AASA financial support to cover a portion of registration costs for educational leaders to participate in the Mental Health Cohort.

As the old saying goes, “people don’t care how much we know until they know how much we care.” Flashy culture programs won’t accomplish our objectives unless, as leaders, we demonstrate true care and concern for those we serve. A positive culture will support a focus on the mental health needs of everyone in the organization.
