This resource includes many real-world examples of how the recommendations are being put into action by schools, communities, and states across the country. The appendix provides additional useful information, including (a) examples of implementation efforts throughout the country; (b) a list of federal resource centers; (c) a list of resources to assist educators in implementing the recommendations; and (d) guidance on existing programs that can support social, emotional and mental health services for students.
