Overview

In California, public school students may take excused absences for the purpose of supporting their mental health. Unfortunately, many students, families and staff are unaware of this mandate.

​

In collaboration with SafeSpace, CEC has created information and resources for students, families, and school staff about the importance of occasional mental health days as a way to reduce chronic absenteeism that can stand in the way of academic performance and wellness.

​

CEC also worked with Unitedly to translate the parent and student info sheets into Chinese.
