  • Provide a safe school environment
  • Offer alcohol-, other drug-, and violence-prevention activities and early intervention for troubled students
  • Offer school and community mental health preventive and treatment intervention programs
  • Offer early childhood psychosocial and emotional developmental programs;
  • Support and connect schools and communities; and
  • Support safe-school policies.
