On October 19, 2021, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP), and Children’s Hospital Association (CHA) jointly declared a national emergency in child and adolescent mental health.1 This declaration outlines 10 action items for policy makers, educators, health care professionals, and families to support child mental health. Importantly, 3 action items focus on child mental health supports delivered in school settings, and a fourth focuses on rectifying our mental health workforce shortage, which is essential for school initiatives to be effective.
