One of NDE's top priorities in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic was to invest in mental health efforts by providing access to comprehensive mental health services for students, staff, and communities. This session will overview how the Office of Coordinated Student Support Services is working to address mental health in schools through partnerships with the Mid-America Mental Health Technology Transfer Center (MHTTC), the University of Nebraska Public Policy Center, Educational Service Units (ESUs) and a local community mental health provider.
