The
Duke Endowment awarded a grant to
Eastern AHEC and the School
Mental Health Project to increase the
availability of school-based mental health interventions through access to
school nurses and other school staff with enhanced mental health training.
The
four basic outcomes of the project are: training and continuing education
of school nurses and other school staff including the development of a
"train-the-trainer" component and regional
training curriculum; development of a resource directory of experts in
school mental health topics to provide training to public school
personnel; implementation of Web-based instruction; and expansion of
online resources and materials through sources like the School
Mental Health Special Collection in the AHEC Digital Library and the Center
for Mental Health in Schools at UCLA.
