  3. PBIS: Equity in Education Making Education Work for All 2013 National PBIS Leadership Forum | October 10-11, 2013 | Donald E. Stephens Convention Center | Rosemont, Illinois • School Mental Health Strand: • Integrating SMH & PBIS: Examples at All 3 Tiers • Integrating SMH & PBIS: Using Data • Integrating SMH & PBIS: Selecting Evidence-based Practices • Interconnected Systems Framework Monograph: Lessons from the Field • Implementing an Interconnected System Framework in an Urban School System • Integrating SMH & PBIS at the State Level • The Changing Role of School-based Clinicians

  4. Content: • Describe the features of an Interconnected Systems Framework (ISF) for Integrating Mental Health in Schools • Describe efforts and resources from blended efforts of National Centers to promote a broader continuum of evidence-based practices to support the mental health of all students • Describe emerging examples of ISF

  5. BIG Ideas… • How Multi-tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) can enhance mental health in schools • Installing SMH through MTSS in Schools • The Interconnected Systems Framework (ISF) SMH +MTSS=ISF

  6. History-Rationale • Sparse availability of MH providers in schools • Labels and ‘places’ confused with interventions • Separate delivery systems (Sp.Ed., Mental health, etc) • Minimal accountability for outcomes for most vulnerable populations

  7. Why Partnership Are Needed • One in 5 youth have a MH “condition” • About 70% of those get no treatment • School is “defacto” MH provider • JJ system is next level of system default • Suicide is 4th leading cause of death among young adults

  8. SMH and PBISCommon Purpose • Schools supporting/promoting MH of ALL students • Prevention, early access, interventions commensurate with level of need (vs label) • School personnel feel confident and competent in identifying and intervening with accuracy and effectiveness

  9. Logic • Youth with MH needs require multifaceted education/behavior and mental health supports • The usual systems have not routinely provided a comprehensive, blended system of support. • Supports need to be provided in a clustered and integrated structure, • Academic/behavior and mental health supports need to be efficiently blended

  10. Promotion and Prevention Simple and complex supports require integrated systems with foundation of a school-wide system • Schools and community serve as protective factor • problem-solving teams with school/family/youth/community voice • use of data for decision-making (screening/ selection and monitoring/outcomes) • layers supports from the foundational/universal to the more complex

  11. School-Wide Systems for Student Success: A Response to Intervention (RtI) Model Academic Systems Behavioral Systems • 1-5% Tier 3/Tertiary Interventions • Individual students • Assessment-based • Intense, durable procedures • Tier 3/Tertiary Interventions 1-5% • Individual students • Assessment-based • High intensity • Tier 2/Secondary Interventions 5-15% • Some students (at-risk) • High efficiency • Rapid response • Small group interventions • Some individualizing • 5-15% Tier 2/Secondary Interventions • Some students (at-risk) • High efficiency • Rapid response • Small group interventions • Some individualizing • Tier 1/Universal Interventions 80-90% • All students • Preventive, proactive • 80-90% Tier 1/Universal Interventions • All settings, all students • Preventive, proactive Illinois PBIS Network, Revised May 15, 2008. Adapted from “What is school-wide PBS?” OSEP Technical Assistance Center on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports. Accessed at http://pbis.org/schoolwide.htm

  12. SCHOOL-WIDE POSITIVE BEHAVIOR SUPPORT: What is meant by “layering” interventions? Tertiary Prevention: Specialized Individualized Systems for Students with High-Risk Behavior ~5% Secondary Prevention: Specialized Group Systems for Students with At-Risk Behavior ~15% Primary Prevention: School-/Classroom- Wide Systems for All Students, Staff, & Settings ~80% of Students

  13. Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (www.pbis.org) • Decision making framework to guide selection and implementation of best practices for improving academic /behavioral functioning • Data-based, measurable outcomes, evidence-based practices, systems to support effective implementation

  14. Core Features of a Response to Intervention (RtI) Approach • Investment in prevention, screening and early intervention for students not at “benchmark” • Multi-tiered intervention approach • Use of progress monitoring and problem-solving process at all 3-tiers

  15. Core Features of a Response to Intervention (RtI) Approach • Research-based practices and active use of data for decision-making at all 3-tiers • Use of progress monitoring and problem-solving process at all 3-tiers

  18. Definition of school mental health • Involves partnership between schools and community health/mental health organizations, as guided by families and youth • Builds on existing school programs, services, and strategies • Focuses on all students, both general and special education • Involves a full array of programs, services, and strategies- mental health education and promotion through intensive intervention • (Weist & Paternite, 2006)

  19. “Expanded” School Mental Health • Full continuum of effective mental health promotion and intervention for ALL students • Reflecting a “shared agenda” involving school-family-community partnerships • Collaborating community professionals (augmentthe work of school-employed staff

  20. The Context • Over 18,000 schools engaged in implementation of SWPBIS (MTSS ) prevention based system • Current focus on capacity to scale-up • MTSS as platform to install effective interventions for youth w/or at-risk of EBD

  21. The Context (cont.) • Emphasis now on scaling with expansion and connection to other systems • i.e. academic, juvenile justice, mental health, child welfare, systems of care • Emphasis on deliberate actions that foster connections w/families & community

  22. Development of ISF • 2002-2007: Site Development with PBIS Expansion (informal and independent) • 2005 CoP focus on integration of PBIS and SMH • 2008: ISF White Paper: formal partnership between PBIS and SMH • 2009- 2013 Monthly calls with implementation sites, national presentations (from sessions to strands) • 2009-2011 Grant Submissions • June 2012- September 2013 ISF Monograph • Monograph Advisory group

  23. Interconnected Systems Framework paper (Barrett, Eber and Weist , revised 2009) Developed through a collaboration of the National SMH and National PBIS Centers www.pbis.org www.pbis.orghttp://csmh.umaryland.edu

  24. ISF Monograph DevelopmentJune 2012 – September 2013 • Define the common goals of SMH and PBIS • Discuss the advantages of interconnection • Identify successful local efforts to implement collaborative strategies and cross-initiative efforts • Define the research, policy, and implementation agendas to take us to the next action level

  25. ISF Defined • ISF provides structure and process for education and mental health systems to interact in most effective and efficient way. • ISF is guided by key stakeholders in education and mental health system who have the authority to reallocate resources, change role and function of staff, and change policy. • ISF applies strong interdisciplinary, cross-system collaboration.

  26. ISF Defined • ISF uses the tiered prevention logic as the overall organizer to develop an action plan. • ISF involves cross system problem solving teams that use data to decide which evidence based practices to implement.

  27. ISF Defined (cont) • ISF involves ongoing progress monitoring for both fidelity and impact. • ISF emphasizes active involvement by youth, families, and other school and community stakeholders.

  28. Interconnected Systems Framework • Tier I: Universal/Prevention for All • Coordinated Systems, Data, Practices for Promoting Healthy Social and Emotional Development for ALL Students • School Improvement team gives priority to social and emotional health • Mental Health skill development for students, staff/, families and communities • Social Emotional Learning curricula for all • Safe & caring learning environments • Partnerships : school, home & community • Decision making framework guides use of and best practices that consider unique strengths and challenges of each school community

  29. MH/PBIS: An Expanded Tier One • Universal screening for social, emotional, and behavioral at-risk indicators • Universal screening for families who may request assistance for their children • Teaching social skills with evidence-based curricula to all students • Teaching appropriate emotional regulation and expression to all students • Teaching behavioral expectations to all students • Mental health professionals are part of the Tier 1 systems team, providing input and progress monitoring data • Opportunity to review community data and expand Tier 1 intervention options based on data

  30. Interconnected Systems Framework • Tier 2: Early Intervention for Some • Coordinated Systems for Early Detection, Identification, and Response to Mental Health Concerns • Systems Planning Team coordinates referral process, decision rules and progress monitors • Array of services available • Communication system: staff, families and community • Early identification of students at risk for mental health concerns due to specific risk factors • Skill-building at the individual and groups level as well as support groups • Staff and Family training to support skill development across settings

  31. MH/PBIS: An Expanded Tier Two • Mental health/community professionals part of secondary systems and problem solving teams • Working smarter matrix completed to ensure key resources are both efficient and effective (i.e., initiatives are aligned and combined such as “bully prevention”, “discipline”, “character education”, “RtI behavior”, etc.) • Groups co-facilitated by school staff and community partner (example – guidance counselor and community provider clinician) • Opportunity to expand the continuum of interventions based on data (i.e. trauma informed interventions) • Out-reach to families for support/interventions

  32. Interconnected Systems Framework • Tier 3: Intensive Interventions for Few • Individual Student and Family Supports • Systems Planning team coordinates decision rules/referrals and progress monitors • Individual team developed to support each student • Individual plans have array of interventions/services • Plans can range from one to multiple life domains • System in place for each team to monitor student progress

  33. MH/PBIS: An Expanded Tier Three • Mental health professional(s) part of tertiary systems team • FBA/BIP and/or person-Centered Wraparound plans completed together with school staff and mental health provider for one concise plan, rather than each completing paperwork to be filed • Quicker access to community-based supports for students and families

  34. Traditional  Preferred Each school works out their own plan with Mental Health (MH) agency; District has a plan for integrating MH at all buildings (based on community data as well as school data);

  35. Traditional  Preferred A MH counselor is housed in a school building 1 day a week to “see” students; MH person participates in teams at all 3 tiers;

  36. Traditional  Preferred No data to decide on or monitor interventions; MH person leads group or individual interventions based on data;

  37. Structure for Developing an ISF: Community Partners Roles in Teams • A District/Community leadership that includes families, develops, supports and monitors a plan that includes: • Community partners participate in all three levels of systems teaming in the building: Universal, Secondary, and Tertiary

  38. Structure for Developing an ISF: Community Partners Roles in Teams (cont.) • Team of SFC partners review data and design interventions that are evidence-based and can be progress monitored • MH providers from both school & community develop, facilitate, coordinate and monitor all interventions through one structure

  39. 3-Tiered System of Support Necessary Conversations Family and community Family and community Family and community Community UniversalTeam Secondary Systems Team Problem Solving Team Tertiary Systems Team Uses Process data; determines overall intervention effectiveness Uses Process data; determines overall intervention effectiveness Plans SW & Class-wide supports Standing team with family; uses FBA/BIP process for one youth at a time CICO Universal Support Brief FBA/BIP SAIG Complex FBA/BIP WRAP Group w. individual feature Brief FBA/BIP Sept. 1, 2009

  40. SPARCS – IL HS • 5 students participated in group • 1 student internalizer • 1 student participated last year as well • Time 1 = Seven weeks before starting SPARCS Time 2 = First seven weeks on intervention Time 3 = Second seven weeks on intervention (with a total of 14 weeks of group)
