K-12 ECHO: Understanding and Responding to Youth Substance Use

Occurs weekly every Wednesday starting on 7/9/2025 at 12:00 PM
Wednesday, July 9, 2025, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM, Online


The goal of this free series is to provide evidence-based education on substance use disorder (SUD) to K-12 school administrators, teachers, school counselors, social workers, and other school-based staff across the state, who are often on the front lines of student mental health and substance use concerns.

1. Participants will learn to recognize signs and symptoms of common mental health issues in students, including SUD, enabling participants to provide support and resources for students in need.
2. Participants will be equipped with practical techniques to intervene and de-escalate challenging behaviors while maintaining a supportive and safe classroom environment.
3. Participants will be equipped to foster a school culture that recognizes and supports emotional well-being, and in turn reducing stigma related to mental and behavioral health challenges, as well as treatment for SUD.
4. Participants will be equipped to effectively collaborate with school counselors, psychologists, and external mental health professionals to create comprehensive support networks for students and their families.
5. Educators will gain skills in self-care and resilience to manage their stress, ensuring they remain effective and supportive in their roles while addressing students' mental health needs.
