About the Series
The School-Based Mental Health 2023-24 ECHO series will foster a collaborative and supportive environment to address the most pressing student and staff mental health priorities identified by school-based partners in student mental health. By bringing together a diverse range of expertise, experiences, and perspectives, this ECHO seeks to empower and equip school counselors, nurses, social workers, psychologists, and administrators with the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to promote mental well-being and create resilient school communities. Through shared learning, student-based discussions, and interactive sessions, the ECHO aims to unite school-based professionals in a common mission of enhancing student mental health outcomes and ultimately shaping a brighter future for Kansas schools.
Via a statewide needs assessment, Kansas school counselors, nurses, and social workers prioritized the topics of stress and anxiety, trauma, suicide, crisis management, mental illness, mental health first aid, and school staff wellness for this ECHO series. These topics and many more will be explored throughout this year-long series.
This project is supported by UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Kansas.
The Olathe Public Schools have long been statewide leaders in the effort to promote student mental wellness. We are pleased that Dr. Sarah Gilliland, Director of Health Services and Angie Salava, Director of Mental Health, are Subject Matter Experts for Project Echo and support their efforts to improve the physical and mental health of all Kansas students.
