6th Annual RC SELPA Mental Health Symposium: Mental Health Matters

In today’s educational and mental health systems, professionals are often tasked with addressing complex student needs—but without a clear distinction between mental health and behavioral health, interventions can become misaligned, inefficient, and less impactful.

This dynamic and practical session breaks down the critical differences between mental health and behavioral health, helping participants **work smarter—not harder—when supporting students, clients, and communities. The session provides a clear framework for identifying when challenges are rooted in emotional/psychological needs versus behavioral patterns, and how to respond with targeted, effective strategies.
