Mental health concerns in students are real, may be painful and, if left untreated, can have serious, life changing consequences. Early recognition, intervention and treatment of mental health concerns make a positive and lasting difference in an adolescent's life.

For more than 10 years the Typical or Troubled?® School Mental Health Education Program equipped teachers, coaches and school personnel with the knowledge needed to recognize the warning signs of mental health concerns and what course of action to take in addressing potential issues.

From 2017 - 2019 we spent our time redeveloping our curriculum and delivery model, pilot testing the new Notice. Talk. Act.® at School program in 2019.

The Notice. Talk. Act.® at School program trains educational staff to:
