The Thriving Minds initiative links three organizations in pursuit of one goal: strengthening school mental health systems. Over the past 5+ years, this initiative has brought the Rennie Center and our partners—the bryt program of the Brookline Center for Community Mental Health and the Massachusetts School Mental Health Consortium—into schools across New England, working with staff from more than 200 districts to help build safe and healthy learning environments for students in need of mental health support. In honor of Mental Health Month, we spoke with staff from two districts Thriving Minds has worked with—Medway Public Schools in Massachusetts and Spruce Mountain School District in Maine—about how they have built stronger systems to connect students with mental health supports.
