The COVID-19 pandemic increased already high rates of student mental health concerns and further underscored inequities and disparities in access to services and care. As schools continue to address the effects of the pandemic, they must prioritize student mental health and well-being. In this commentary, using feedback from the Maryland School Health Council, we present the connection between mental health in school and the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model, a school health model commonly employed by schools and school districts. In doing so, we aim to highlight how school districts can use this model to address child mental health needs across a multi-tiered system of support.
新冠疫情大流行使得学生的心理健康问题更加严重，进一步凸显了获取服务和护理方面的不平等和差距。随着学校继续应对疫情的影响，他们必须优先考虑学生的心理健康和福祉。在这篇评论中，我们使用马里兰州学校健康理事会的反馈意见，展示了学校心理健康与“全人、全员、全程”（WSCC）模式之间的联系，这是学校和学区常用的学校健康模式。通过这样做，我们旨在强调学区如何利用这一模式，通过多层次支持系统来解决儿童心理健康需求。
