Mental Health Literacy in Baltimore City Public Schools

With higher rates of mental health challenges resulting from the pandemic, psychoeducational and skill-building curriculums in classrooms offer the opportunity to reach a larger number of students and to equip them with critical coping and problem-solving skills. The Baltimore City School Mental Health Program will implement a mental health literacy (MHL) curriculum to reduce stigma, increase mental health knowledge, and enhance students' coping capacities.
