SPORT History
Region 11 K-12 Student Mental Health Initiative
The California County Superintendents Educational Services Association (CCSESA) serves as the statewide organization of California’s 58 County Superintendents of Schools and has established 11 service regions to implement new education programs effectively. The Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) comprises Region 11. CCSESA was awarded funding, supplied by the voter approved Mental Health Services Act (Proposition 63) and administered the California Mental Health Services Authority (CalMHSA), to coordinate the Regional K-12 Student Mental Health Initiative. This initiative builds on local strategies and activities statewide related to prevention of student mental health issues at the elementary level (K-8), with linkages to grades 9 through 12.
The County Superintendents of Schools are positioned to build upon existing student mental health programs and implement the work of the Initiative regionally.
CCSESA’s Initiative is based on:
- Common statewide framework of prevention and early intervention strategies
- Regional flexibility to build on local strategies and activities already underway
- Prevention of student mental health issues at the elementary level
- Data driven, evidenced based practices that are culturally responsive to the unique needs of our urban, suburban and rural communities of Los Angeles County
