Strategies for Implementing School-Based Services
Child Trends, in collaboration with the New Mexico Community Foundation (NMCF), convened practitioners and policy makers from throughout New Mexico for several Roundtable discussions on implementing school-based health services and extended learning opportunities. NMCF's Elev8 New Mexico statewide initiative is part of a larger national effort to bring together middle school students' extended learning, school-based health, and direct family supports and services into a comprehensive and holistic program.
A new Child Trends brief, Implementing School-Based Services: Strategies from New Mexico's School-Based Health and Extended Learning Services, builds on initial work conceptualizing the value of school-based services; outlines the challenges and strategies for implementing school-based services that were shared in the Roundtables; and highlights suggestions made by Roundtable participants for implementing these services. |
