Our Research

Links to Learning was funded by the National Institute for Mental Health (NIMH) to examine a school-based model for mental health consultation to urban, high poverty schools that focuses on the key empirical predictors of children’s learning and uses parent and teacher key informants to facilitate program utilization and sustainability. A primary goal of this model was to align mental health resources to support K-6th grade children’s learning in home and school settings, and to study the extent to which this will lead to stronger mental health outcomes for children, relative to mental health services as usual. The project was located in 6 Chicago Public Schools and 4 collaborating social service agencies.
