Abstract
Mental health needs in school are increasing and can affect every student. School nurses are in a perfect position to support social-emotional learning and implement coping strategies to aid in student success. This article features the implementation of social-emotional interventions in the school health office for all students using the multitiered systems of support (MTSS) framework. MTSS is an evidence-based framework that integrates prevention and tiered intervention with data-based problem-solving to meet the academic and behavioral needs of students. Through a tiered approach, all students receive the support they need to understand their emotions, recognize how strong emotions affect physical health, and how to cope. Because maladaptive coping can have an adverse effect on academics, social-emotional wellness is essential for students to be healthy, safe, and ready to learn.
