Mental health has profound effects on academic achievement, persistence, and graduation. In this session, we introduce and discuss a tiered public health framework—inspired by the widely-adopted K-12 multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) framework—that can be applied to understand and address mental health needs within postsecondary settings. Using this framework, postsecondary leaders can develop a holistic, well-coordinated campus and community mental health system. Panelists will discuss how equity and trauma are considered at each tier within their unique institutional context.
