Teachers Leading the Front Lines - North Carolina (Tealeaf-NC) Study

This study, called Tealeaf-NC, is looking at new ways to help children with mental health concerns like depression and anxiety. It's testing two programs: "Teachers Leading the Frontlines" (Tealeaf) and "Responding to Students' Emotions Through Education" (RE-SEED). Both programs train teachers to recognize and support students with mental health needs. The Tealeaf program involves a 3-day training and supervision from the study team, while RE-SEED has a shorter 1-day training and supervision only from school counselors. The study wants to see how well these programs are accepted, how appropriate they are, and how easy they are to put into practice in schools. It also aims to see if they can help improve children's mental health. Schools in North Carolina with eligible principals and teachers can participate. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.
