New~School Mental Health Referral Pathways Guidance from DPI

Referral pathways are formalized processes for identifying and connecting students to needed mental health supports. These pathways exist in the context of an equitable, multi-level system of supports, which provides a conceptual model for organizing mental health supports in schools. 

These pathways are important because they provide next steps for staff and families after identifying a student in need, coordinate supports within schools and with outside organizations, and improve student outcomes through early identification. In order to create an effective pathway, schools must consider the specific needs and resources of their school and community.

See our website training calendar for more information and registration.
