Creating a system of shared
communication and advocacy in the area
 of comprehensive student health and
              well-being.
The American School Counselor Association
      Center for School Mental Health,
              IDEA Partnership,
National Association for School Psychologists,
 and American Council for School Social Work
developed the “Building Collaborative Cultures”
       Practice Group as a part of the
       National Community of Practice
         on School Behavioral Health.
•Establish connections across groups.

•Build representation from states, agencies,
national organizations, technical assistance
providers and other stakeholder groups.

•Establish routine communication.

•Identify shared interests across
stakeholder groups.
•   Articulate the issues that might be the
    foundation for groups as collaborative
    focus.

•   Build an infrastructure that helps
    individuals and groups doing related work
    find each other and begin to collaborate.
By Building a Collaborative Culture to support
student health and well-being, stakeholders are
most able to:

   • partner as leaders in systemic change
   • ensure equity and access
   • promote academic, career and personal,
     and social development for every
     student

“ How do we move from “expert driven”
         one student at a time,
          reactive approaches
   to building capacity within schools
       to support all students?”
              Lucille Eber
Many people have wondered. . .
     What do ALL these
 professionals that work with
        students do?
Do the different professionals even understand
     what each stakeholder does or offers?
   Lack of legitimization.
   Lack of consistent identity.
   Limited or no involvement in reform
    movements.
   Variation in roles from state to state and
    site to site.
   Mis-assumptions and territorialism among
    the helping professionals themselves.

Who are school social workers?
    ◦ School social workers are pupil services professionals who
      generally hold a masters degree in social work and who have

    ◦ School social workers provide an ecological approach to
      insuring student success. They assist children and families by
      examining those factors in the home, school and/or community
      that are impacting a student’s educational success and then
      assist in reducing those barriers to learning.

      (NAESP), founded in 1921, is a professional organization
      serving elementary and middle school principals and other
      education leaders throughout the United States, Canada, and

Our Vision
   The Association believes that the progress and well-being of
    the individual child must be at the forefront of all elementary
    and middle-school planning and operations. Further, NAESP
    supports elementary and middle-level principals as the primary
    catalyst for creating a lasting foundation for learning, driving
    school and student performance, and shaping the long-term
    impact of school improvement efforts.

Who We Are:
 ◦ NASSP works to provide school leaders with the information
   and resources they need to address the many challenges in
   today's schools.
 Breaking Ranks Framework
   What Needs to Improve?
    Regardless of grade level, all schools must address the
    three core areas of collaborative leadership (CL);
    personalizing your school environment (PER); and curriculum,
    instruction, and assessment to improve student
    performance (CIA). Only by addressing each of these three
    overlapping areas can improved student performance occur.

Who is the Center for Mental Health?
 ◦ The CSMH is an energetic and committed team, including
   youth and families, educators, social workers, psychologists,
   licensed professional counselors, psychiatrists, graduate
   students, postdoctoral fellows, administrative staff, and
   other health and mental health staff.

 What is Expanded School Mental Health?
 ◦ We use the term "expanded school mental health" (ESMH) to
   describe what we believe are the core elements of effective
   school mental health programs. ESMH programs are
   developed through partnerships between schools and
   community agencies to move toward a full continuum of
   effective mental health promotion, early intervention, and
   treatment for youth in general and special education.

When school systems fail to
clearly understand and define
      stakeholder roles:
      School leaders, school staff
       individual agency partners,
    parents, and community members
          may feel their agenda
 ought to be the priority of each group.
   The results often lead to confusion
              and criticisms.

            (Carolyn Maddy Bernstein, 1995)
“We need to be the change
  we want to see happen.
    We are the leaders
 we have been waiting for.”

   The primary purpose to promote the active
    exchange of ideas and collaboration between
