Mental health plays a critical role in effectively managing threats within schools. Today, more than ever, our goal is to create a safe and supportive environment for students while addressing prospective dangers and concerning behaviors. This presentation aims to foster a holistic approach that ensures student safety while addressing potential threats. Through an Interconnected Systems Framework we can combine systems and practices to improve outcomes for our students. This presentation will discuss the integration of mental health in enhancing school safety and management. For this to occur, we must understand the framework of behavioral threat management teams and the importance of multidisciplinary teams.
Additionally, the role of mental health with early interventions and promotion of well-being must not be understated when outlining the threat management process and looking at behavioral indicators and gathering data. The symbiotic relationship between mental health and school safety is crucial for fostering a supportive and conducive learning environment. By supporting students who experience mental health challenges, school can promote better academic and behavioral outcomes. Providing access to mental health services can reduce difficulties related to mental, emotional, and behavioral well-being among students at risk. This comprehensive approach emphasizes the importance of addressing students’ emotional needs alongside safety measures. Through use of the identified risk assessment tool, the school district systematically identifies and evaluates potential threats, demonstrating a proactive approach to student safety.
Partnered with training in mental health awareness and de-escalation techniques, empathy and understanding within the school community is fostered. Prioritizing mental health and safety creates a positive feedback loop: when students feel mentally well, they are more likely to engage in safe behaviors, and when schools prioritize safety, students’ mental well-being improves.
