Comprehensive School Mental Health System (CSMHS)

A CSMHS is a broad term for any school / district-community-family partnership that provides a multi-tiered continuum of evidence-based mental health services to support students, families, and the school community.

Your system includes any team of individuals working together to support the social, emotional, and behavioral well-being of students, their families, and schools.

Action Planning Using SHAPE

  • After taking the quality and/or sustainability assessments, what are the areas that you see as requiring the most attention?
  • Were there some questions that you simply could not answer from the SMH Profile or the assessments? What does this mean to you and your team?
  • Have you established an in-house team to address the targeted areas of need that were highlighted in the assessments?
  • What is one small test of change that you can make in the next month to begin implementation?
    • Who will need to be involved in this test of change?
    • What materials/resources will you need to conduct this small test of change?
    • What data will you use to determine if your change resulted in an improvement for your system?
