Summary
This study looked at how to keep mental health programs running in 12 urban public schools with limited resources. Researchers compared two support models for school counselors and staff delivering evidence-based programs like Coping Power and CBT for anxiety. Over three years, they measured how well the programs were delivered, how many students received them, costs, and changes in student behavior and academic engagement. The goal was to find sustainable ways to support student mental health in schools that face many challenges.
