The Ohio Statewide Family Engagement Center\u2019s research brief in a downloadable guide format emphasizes families’ and schools’ role in supporting children’s and adolescents\u2019 mental health. Additionally, they provide five strategies educators and families can utilize so all students experience the benefits of mental health support. The first strategy is to encourage supportive relationships at home. Supportive relationships protect children from the negative impacts of trauma. Also, caregivers who have support for their own needs form home environments that foster healthy development for children. The second strategy recommends engaging families in nurturing teacher-student relationships. High-quality teacher relationships can generate feelings of emotional security, autonomy, competence, increase school engagement and achievement. Next, ensure home and school routines and rituals support students\u2019 stability and sense of identity. Routines and rituals serve as protective factors against stressors for children. Cultivating a sense of belonging for students and families in the school community is also vital. Finally, promote problem-solving and self-regulation skills at home and school. Developing these skills allows children and young adults to adapt and overcome challenges in life.
