Bridging the Gap: The Critical Role of Tier 2 Supports in Student Mental Health

The youth mental health crisis is challenging schools to provide better support for students at all levels. While current strategies often focus on universal Tier 1 supports or addressing urgent Tier 3 crises, Tier 2 interventions—a vital bridge between prevention and crisis management—remain overlooked in many systems. Implementing effective Tier 2 supports can help schools address students’ needs early, fostering resilience and success while avoiding costly and complex escalations.
