About

The toolkit explains how schools can work with parents to support student mental health. It describes the importance of school connectedness, where students feel supported by peers and adults, leading to better emotional well-being and academic success. Parents play a key role in their children's learning and health by being involved in school activities. This involvement helps children make healthier choices and improve social skills. The CDC's WSCC model highlights the link between health and learning, emphasizing family engagement as crucial for promoting positive behaviors in students.
