This federal Project Grant award of $1,000,000 from the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) STOP School Violence Program supports the Wellness Initiative for Safe Education (Project WISE) program implemented by Norman Public Schools (NPS) in Oklahoma. The program aims to enhance mental health support and safety for NPS students and staff through comprehensive programming. Key services include parent mental health training and coaching, staff mental health training, Conscious Discipline programming, and Tier 3 intervention services such as partial hospitalization and day treatment for students. The program focuses on addressing mental health concerns, substance abuse, and suicidal ideation, which impact a significant portion of NPS' 15,450 students, 8,107 of whom are in Title I schools. This federal grant award will enable NPS, in collaboration with partners Battelle for Kids, the Cook Center for Human Connection, and Bridges Behavioral Health, to provide critical support services and promote equity in access to essential mental health resources for the district's students.
