WHAT IS PROJECT DelAWARE?
Project DelAWARE is a $9 million SAMHSA funded grant awarded to the Delaware Department of Education. The intent for Project DelAWARE is to advance wellness and resiliency in education.
Project DelAWARE is about people working together to promote and support mental health in schools.
The Project DelAWARE team and its three pilot school district partners are implementing evidence-based mental health services in school settings within the context of the MultiTiered System of Support (MTSS). Through knowledge and skill development, outreach and communication, and evaluation Project DelAWARE promotes wellness and resilience for school-age youth and improves access to mental health services.
