    LI Creating Well-Being Sharing Site

    Long Island schools and mental health organizations have made a long-standing commitment to addressing the mental health and well-being of our students, staff members, caregivers, and community members.

    In 2021, the Nassau County Council of School Superintendents’ Mental Health Strategic Planning Committee created a comprehensive guide for school leaders and their mental health teams.

    In an effort to share ideas and successful practices, we are now developing the
