A Seat at the Table: Integrating Mental and Behavioral Health into School Nursing Practice
School nurses are uniquely positioned to identify and support students with mental and behavioral health needs, yet our role within school systems is often underutilized. This session will explore practical ways school nurses can incorporate mental health assessment, early intervention, care coordination, and collaboration into their practice while strengthening their role within MTSS, crisis response, and IEP/504 teams.
