What is Project AWARE?

Project AWARE (Advancing Wellness and Resiliency in Education) aims to better equip CESAs to support school districts in improving their overall school mental health systems. The main objective is to increase health and educational equity across the state of Wisconsin by developing sustainable infrastructure for school-based mental health programs and services that are prevention oriented. Project AWARE is also aligned across similar initiatives including Trauma Sensitive Schools (TSS), Suicide Prevention, and EMLSS Project. In 2023, another 5-year grant was awarded to continue Project AWARE's work.
