Dr. Sharon Hoover, NCS3 Principal Investigator and Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, noted that “the NCS3 is eager to work with these districts to support the implementation of equitable, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed school mental health. Students and staff need support for their well-being now more than ever. By applying to participate in the S3 Learning Collaborative, these 16 districts have demonstrated a commitment to promoting safe supportive schools in their communities.”
