BUSD, in collaboration with the City of Berkeley Mental Health Division (BMHD), engaged RDA Consulting to conduct a mental health needs assessment to inform how the district may best establish a sustainable environment that fosters improved mental health and wellness for students and families. This assessment furthers the commitments made by BUSD in their application for MHSSA grant funding and will provide the district with a foundation for establishing a strategy to support the mental well-being of students, families, and staff in upcoming years.

As part of the district’s ongoing commitment to student well-being and mental health, this comprehensive Mental Health Needs Assessment has provided us with valuable insights into the mental health landscape within our district. This insight helps BUSD better understand the needs and challenges faced by our diverse student population.

We are excited to share the findings of this assessment with you. Your attendance at this event will offer a unique opportunity to gain insights into the mental health needs of our district and learn about potential strategies for addressing these needs moving forward.

Sincerely,

Berkeley Unified School District
