Mental Health Team Goals
To achieve our collective vision, Central High School works together with the Newark Board of Education, other schools, and stakeholders on six (6) collaborative goals:
- Students are provided an inclusive and nurturing educational environment that provides a sense of belonging
- Students will learn how to identify and self-regulate emotions
- Students will learn how to apply coping strategies to address anxiety and low mood episodes
- Students will understand the importance of mental health
- Students will receive timely and responsive evidence-based prevention through a school-wide multi-tiered approach (SST, CST, I&RS)
- Students and families will receive micro and macro educational supports and resources
