Participants take students’ mental health issues seriously and feel that current mental health resources and training opportunities could be expanded. Mental health disorders, behavior management, and specialized skills were identified as the top three areas of need for further training. Significantly fewer educators in rural schools reported that their schools hire mental health professionals as compared to those in urban schools. School mental health professionals and administrators were significantly more likely to express concerns about student mental health issues compared to teachers. Administrators were significantly more likely to regard addressing students’ mental health issues as a part of their job than teachers.
