This unprecedented time in education has offered opportunities to increase personnel in schools, with a focus on mental health supports. While these opportunities are best situated in an integrated systems framework focused on alignment of initiatives and intentional service delivery, the lack of providers who reflect varying cultural backgrounds and lived experiences remains a top concern. Seeking to create systems where every learner can thrive requires a method to provide access and opportunity to engage with personnel who may have a shared understanding and relatability to those being served. Please join us for a discussion focused on pathways to recruiting and retaining diverse mental health providers in the context of systems thinking.

The national School-Based Health Alliance seeks to elevate the work of those at the state level who make a difference in school-based health care with the inaugural G.R.I.T. Awards. These awards are designed to recognize individuals who demonstrate genuine (G), resilient (R), innovative (I), and tenacious (T) qualities in their work to promote school-based health care.

The G.R.I.T. Awards are open to nominees from the local to state level in four categories: providers, administrators, advocates, and champions. These individuals work in school-based health centers, providing primary care, behavioral, oral, vision, nutrition, telepresenter services, or provide leadership, support, and oversight to the SBHC team and partners. The awards also recognize advocates and champions who support SBHCs from various perspectives at the local or state level.

Winners of the G.R.I.T. Awards will be announced at the National School-Based Health Care Conference to be held in Washington, D.C., from June 26-28, 2023.
