K-12 Behavioral Health Initiative

Empowering Educators. Transforming Lives.

At the University of Washington Bothell, we believe every child deserves support for their mental wellbeing. Through innovative research, practical training, and community partnerships, we’re equipping K-12 professionals with the tools to recognize, respond to, and nurture student behavioral health.

Our Goal

We’re building a future where every classroom becomes a space of emotional safety and growth. Through our evidence-based curriculum, Mental Health First Aid certification, and comprehensive resources, we’re creating ripples of positive change across Washington state’s schools.
