The Scanlan Center for School Mental Health is the state’s hub for school-based mental health research, training, professional learning, and clinical services.
We work with schools, districts, AEAs, universities/colleges, and key stakeholders across the state to support the well-being of PreK-12 students and educators as well as college students and faculty.
A partnership between the University of Iowa College of Education and the Iowa Department of Education, the Scanlan Center for School Mental Health launched in June 2021 with an ambitious mission – to provide social, emotional behavioral, and psychological services to all of Iowa’s schools across 99 counties, not only to aid in COVID-19 recovery but to build state capacity for immediate and future delivery of mental health supports.
