Project Description

In this study SDRG evaluated Seattle Public Schools’ Safe Schools/Healthy Students Initiative, a comprehensive effort to integrate school and community policies and services to students to promote healthy development and increase safety in and around school buildings. The District has adopted the Communities That Care strategic prevention planning framework to coordinate and integrate social development initiatives. SDRG assisted the district in developing a prevention data system to support planning and evaluation of mental health promotion and violence and substance abuse prevention services.
