Project AWARE Ohio

Advancing Wellness and Resilience in Education

Project AWARE Ohio is a partnership between the Ohio Department of Education, the Center for School Based-Mental Health Programs at Miami University and the educational service centers within three pilot communities: Cuyahoga County, Warren County and Wood County. Funded through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,  Project AWARE Ohio supports schools and communities in:

• Raising awareness of behavioral health issues among school-aged youth;
• Providing training to detect and respond to mental health challenges and crisis in children and young adults; and  
• Increasing access to behavioral health supports for children, youth and families.

Increasing Skills to Identify and Respond to Signs of Mental Health Problems in School Age Youth - Statewide resources and trainings available to school staff and community partners raise awareness of the mental health needs of youth and how to intervene.
