Stories from the field - how PE/PA, nutrition practices, etc. impact a child's willingness to participate/engage (can ask SEAs, Active Schools PE campaign, GENYOUth, Healthier Generation)

New partners at the table? for example, start with mtgs w/DASH to learn from them and identify ways to coordinate; SAMHSA; NICPC; Natl Endowment for the Arts; Natl Ctr for School Based MH; Ctr for Health and HC in Schools

Invite SAMHSA staff to present to branch and discuss their role vs. our role in promoting mental health for students and staff.

Better understanding of what resources SAMHSA already has related to our priority areas (for example, I recently learned that they have a self-paced training on nutrition and mental health and a great handout about healthy eating to support mental health)

Data over stigma related to mental health in youth and how to communicate importance of seeking help - may have changed since COVID? More students seeking help, more people talking about mental health, etc. (Reach out to CHEO, other partners identified above)

Data over special needs students and mental health during COVID- best practices to support, policies
