Student mental health framework.

Existing law establishes the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission which, among other duties, is authorized to establish a framework and voluntary standard for mental health in the workplace that serves to reduce mental health stigma, increase awareness of mental health issues, and provide employer guidance, as specified. This bill would require the commission, in coordination with the State Department of Education, the State Department of Health Care Services, local educational agencies, county departments of mental health or behavioral health, local public safety agencies, and other relevant state, local, and community-based entities, to develop a framework, as specified, to support the development and deployment of effective strategies that address the root causes of student mental health needs, that produce positive school and mental health outcomes, and that support healthy and safe learning environments.
