Why is it important?
Working alongside high school students and local mental health experts, this paper explores how this approach could be implemented in school-based health centers to support early intervention, emotional regulation, and greater patient autonomy, ultimately improving integration of care and cost-savings for clinics.
Perspectives
I’m grateful to everyone who contributed their insights and energy to this work, and hopeful about the potential for simple, skill-based tools like this to help reach youth who often fall through the gaps in behavioral health care.
