Griffin-Spalding serves approximately 11,000 children and youth; Muscogee County School serves 32,000, and Newton County Schools serves 19,000. Strategies/Interventions: "Now is the Time" Georgia Project AWARE (GPA), which will be led by the Georgia Departments of Education (GaDOE) with support from the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) and the Georgia Interagency Directors' Team (GPA's Statement Management Team), will be implemented in three local education agencies (LEAs) and their respective communities: Griffin-Spalding Schools, Muscogee County Schools, and Newton County Schools. Each LEA will implement School-Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) and develop a framework to identify students experiencing or at risk for emotional and behavioral problems and to provide a continuum of interventions to address their needs. The project will assist each LEA and local mental health providers in blending education and mental health systems and resources to provide a seamless framework of prevention and intervention within a multi-tiered framework. Based on needs assessment/environmental scan findings, each LEA will implement additional evidence-based strategies and interventions which may include Check In Check Out, Second Step Violence Prevention Program, and Targeted Social Skills Groups. Project work will be guided by GaDOE's PBIS implementation model which includes is a framework of systematic strategies to promote positive student behavior through data based decision making, providing an outstanding framework from which to enhance mental health promotion and intervention.
