- Michigan State Police and Professor Carlson from Michigan State University have teamed up to develop six courses designed to promote school safety and mental health.
- Funding for this project was obtained through grants from the U.S. Department of Justice and Bureau of Justice Assistance.
- These courses focus on topics such as fostering a safe and supportive school climate, collaborative data-based problem-solving, early identification of mental health challenges, effective mental health interventions and care coordination, working with diverse populations, and nurturing self-care and wellness.
- The modules were crafted by Carlson and his team in collaboration with Beth Beattie, a department analyst at MSP.
- Michigan Virtual provided their expertise to ensure that these invaluable resources were accessible online.
- This pioneering initiative highlights the importance of states taking ownership of the issue by collaborating with key stakeholders in order to combat school violence effectively.
