Project AWARE Transforms School Mental Health | Raleigh News

North Carolina’s Project AWARE is revolutionizing student mental health by embedding care directly into schools—turning classrooms into hubs of support. Since 2018, this federally funded initiative has expanded across six districts, training staff, formalizing counseling roles, and shifting school culture to prioritize emotional well-being. With schools as the frontline for youth support, Project AWARE tackles fragmented systems head-on. Now, North Carolina’s pushing for more funding to launch a third cohort—and pilot districts are already exploring creative funding like opioid settlements and Medicaid changes—to ensure lasting impact. This isn’t just about services—it’s about building a resilient, mentally healthy future for every student.
