Understanding the evidence, policy, and funding opportunities for school-based interventions related to youth mental health can be difficult. Join experts to explore how states, districts, and schools can use the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) to support social and emotional learning (SEL) interventions. Hear about SEL interventions that meet ESSA evidence requirements and potential funding mechanisms to integrate SEL into school-based efforts to address the social, emotional and mental health of students.
