Episode 67: Implications for MH in the Peri-Covid Era with Mark Weist and Andy Garbacz

March 04, 2024 • Dr. Lisa Powers and Ms. Jamie Grieshaber • Season 3 • Episode 67

Join Lisa as she explores Mental Health within MTSS with Mark Weist and Andy Garbacz as they challenge how we integrate Mental Health into the Tiered Systems framework.

The MTSS framework is a critical construct to organize programming and integration of MH in schools. Aligning programs across tiers provides many benefits:

1. Reduction in Stigma

2. Promotion of Health Seeking Behaviors

3. Can be therapeutic
