BY INVITATION ONLY
Building a District-Wide Mental Health Framework
A private summit for Illinois district leaders on supporting student mental health
— hosted by Effective School Solutions and ED-RED.
Wednesday, September 16 | 8:30 AM – 1:00 PM | Saranello's, 601 N. Milwaukee Ave., Wheeling, IL
If you’re reading this, you’ve been personally invited to join a small group of Illinois superintendents, directors, and student services leaders for an honest conversation about one of the most important challenges our districts face: how to build mental health support that truly reaches every student, at every level of need.
This isn’t a conference. It’s a morning with people who understand exactly what you’re navigating, built for leaders who are ready to trade ideas for a real framework they can bring home.
We’ve kept the group small on purpose, so the conversation stays genuine, and the relationships do too. If you’ve received an invitation, we’d truly love to save you a seat at the table.
What You'll Walk Away With
- A real-world blueprint. Hear directly from Harvard Community Unit School District 50 leaders in a candid panel discussion on how they’ve built district-wide mental health support, what worked, what they’d do differently, and how they got buy-in.
- Clarity on the Illinois Universal Mental Health Screening mandate. Understand what the mandate requires and how peer districts are approaching implementation.
- A framework for high-acuity support. Explore how districts are identifying and supporting students with the most intensive mental health needs, without stretching internal staff past capacity.
- Concrete next steps. Leave with strategies you can bring back to your team and put into motion right away, not just ideas, but a plan.
- Time with peers who get it. Close out the morning with a networking lunch alongside fellow Illinois district leaders navigating the same challenges you are.
Space is limited, and this one is by invitation only. If you’ve received an invitation, we would genuinely love for you to be there.
