Heartland AEA’s SEBMH Development Teams have been working to expand our understanding and practices to effectively promote Complete Mental Health for all children, youth and adults. Our definition of Complete Mental Health includes positive and negative indicators that contribute to mental wellness or mental distress. It includes promotive and preventive approaches that are commonly used within schools to promote well-being. In addition, these approaches are aligned and integrated with Heartland AEA's SEBMH Pyramid and local education agency practices. The purpose of this work is to shift the paradigm from focusing on mental illness to promoting complete mental health.
In this voiceover presentation, applications to various roles within Heartland AEA and local education agencies as well as connections to one’s own complete mental health will be made. We will continue to provide opportunities to discuss our expanded definition of Complete Mental Health and to provide application to your role within the Agency and the children, youth and adults you serve.
