In the September 2023 Update, we’re spotlighting how education and behavioral health can work in concert to creating better outcomes for youth, families and communities. Our stories feature how Los Angeles County’s Bassett High School is implementing collaborative and community-centered approaches through the community schools model, explore the importance of of addressing stigma to support mental health, and outline a range of efforts helping Local Education Agencies meet the needs of their students through California’s Multi-Tiered System of Support. September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, and we are also sharing links to resources that can help young people, families, friends, schools and educators recognize the warning signs of suicide and seek additional support through the CalHHS Suicide Prevention hub.
