Maryetta Aware - Maryetta Public Schools is a dependent district in northeastern Oklahoma that serves 551 K-8th grade students (82% American Indian, 11% Caucasian, 7% Hispanic), with 78% of students qualifying for the free or reduced lunch program.

Maryetta, in partnership with the Oklahoma Department of Education (OSDE), Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (ODMHSAS), Phoenix Counseling, and Cherokee Nation, will collaborate to develop a sustainable infrastructure for school-based mental health programs and services to meet the needs of Maryetta students. Through Maryetta Aware, 551 students and their families will be served.

Project goals are as follows:

Goal 1: Improve school personnel's awareness and knowledge of trauma-informed mental health and trauma-informed instruction.

Goal 2: Implement a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) incorporating positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) and collaborative partnerships with community partners to build a supportive school culture and provide comprehensive support for students in need of mental health support through the Interconnected Systems Framework (ISF).

Goal 3: Promote a positive school climate to improve student attendance and discipline.

Maryetta, along with Aware partners, will develop an implementation plan for a three-tiered public health model, integrate evidence-based best practices for tiered services and supports (Tier 1, 2, & 3), implement a student suicide awareness and prevention training policy, provide trauma-informed training to school personnel, engage families and the community through mental health training and awareness programs, develop a sustainability plan, and further develop collaborative relationships to broaden and link community resources to school-aged youth and their families.
