Project Cal-Well is a cross-agency mental health initiative led by the California Department of Education focused on building capacity for sustainable school-based mental health systems in local educational agencies (LEAs) throughout California. As part of a series highlighting the work of Project Cal-Well partners in Cohort 2 (2019-2024), this document summarizes how the Stanislaus County Office of Education leveraged Project Cal-Well funding to provide much-needed mental health services to students during and following the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of their work, students and staff at the partner districts in Stanislaus County are now more aware of mental health challenges and how to get help or to support someone who is struggling.
