Description:
School nurses are frontline healthcare providers in school, and often are the first school professional staff to identify a student with behavioral health concerns, such as stress, anxiety, and depression. School nurses are not routinely considered a member of the school-behavioral health team, and yet can enhance the team’s ability to support students’ behavioral health challenges. This learning opportunity will enhance the knowledge of school nurses on the role of school nurses on school-based behavioral healthcare teams, the ability to identify a successful model of a school-based team, and the collaboration involved.

1) Identify a successful model for integrated, comprehensive school-based behavioral healthcare team.
2) Articulate understanding of the school nurse role on school-based behavioral healthcare team.
