This session examines how Michigan school safety legislation—including threat assessment teams, mental health liaisons, and staff training—can be effectively integrated within an MTSS framework. Participants will engage in collaborative planning, explore mental health supports across all three tiers, and leave with actionable tools to align legal requirements with student-centered practices. Ideal for school leaders, support staff, and district teams seeking to strengthen safety and wellness systems. Explore how Michigan’s school safety legislation aligns with mental health supports in a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS). This session offers practical tools and collaborative planning to help schools integrate required safety measures and mental health services across Tiers 1–3.
