This project improves service delivery to students identified at-risk for mental health needs by installing the Interconnected Systems Framework (ISF) in high implementing PBIS middle schools in Marion County. Training and technical assistance is provided to participating school teams in administrating universal screening, analyzing social, emotional and behavior data across all students, and engaging in problem-solving to implement evidence-based interventions matched to student need, including connecting students to the local mental health agencies for more intensive support. The outcomes of these model demonstration sites will help others in understanding the critical system components needed to successfully meet the needs of all students.
