Healthy Minds, Safe Schools is the only screening program to automatically place students into MTSS intervention tiers, helping teams to easily prioritizing students and implementing interventions. These Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 intervention bands are critical to determining the possible level of support a student may need. Our intervention bands are standardized, allowing students to be consistently identified and banded no matter where they attend school.

Using a social justice lens, we encourage school teams to build a program from within using existing resources. Promoting positive and caring classroom communities that improve student-teacher relationships and enhance classroom culture are critical to decreasing acts of violence and increasing school safety. Every school can successfully replicate and customize best practices in a school setting by reallocating existing resources and growing multi-tiered systems of support in their elementary and secondary schools.

Healthy Minds, Safe Schools promotes clear communication between schools and families. Strategies for obtaining family buy-in, support, and engagement for behavioral health screenings and programming are key to long-term success.
