This federal Project Grant award of $234,000.00 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) will support a pilot study of the Strengthening Social-Emotional Skills for Relating and Thriving at School (SSTRS) program. The SSTRS program aims to increase kindergarten students' social-emotional skills as a mechanism for preventing the development of mental health problems and associated negative outcomes like suicide, substance abuse, and criminality.

The study will evaluate the effects of the SSTRS program on children's social-emotional skills, parents' involvement and positive parenting skills, and children's mental health outcomes. Using a cluster-randomized design, the researchers will collect data from 300 incoming kindergarteners and their parents across three schools serving socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. This pilot study will assess the feasibility and acceptability of the SSTRS program from the perspectives of parents, educators, and district administrators to inform future program scale-up and implementation. The award period is from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2027.
