Superintendent Roundtable: Building Supportive Systems for Well-Being Districtwide

In 2023, 40% of high school students said they experienced persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness.

Additionally, more than one in five students reported having seriously considered suicide.

The need for sustainable, systemic supports in schools has never been more urgent. Join AASA and The Jed Foundation (JED) as they highlight an evidence-based framework that brings together recommended practices with expertise from the field to help districts create a strong and supportive school mental health system that fosters truly connected, thriving school communities.

Hear real-world applications and insights from two superintendents and their teams who are actively engaged in the process and gain valuable perspectives on how this initiative can help foster a culture of well-being in your school communities.

Participants were encouraged to come with questions for the panelists and engaged in a lively discussion.
