Healthy Schools

Research indicates that schools, colleges, and universities are critical contexts for promoting social, emotional, physical, and academic development. In recent years, educational institutions have invested in evidence-based, comprehensive supports for students. Despite this increase, too many students continue to be left behind due to a lack of access to effective school-based supports. This is especially true for students with marginalized identities, including Black and Indigenous youth, LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning) youth, youth with disabilities, and youth involved in the juvenile justice and child welfare systems.
