NEW! APPROVED FOR 9TH GRADERS We are happy to announce that tMHFA is now approved for grades 9-12. The National Council for Mental Wellbeing made this change after extensive nationwide feedback and reviewing best practices from school-based mental health programs.

Since most schools in the 2B CONTINUED school program currently offer tMHFA to 10th graders, we are offering a transitional period by expanding tMHFA to both 9th and 10th graders over the next 1-2 school years, for any school that would like the course to be delivered to this lower grade level. This approach ensures continuity without missing any students or skipping any grades.

Please contact us to discuss a customized implementation plan at your school.

VIRTUAL STAFF & PARENT SESSIONS This year, 2B CONTINUED will offer online information sessions for both staff and parents.

Staff and parents from all participating schools will have several date/time options to choose from. Though they will not be school specific, staff sessions and parent sessions will still be held separately. Exact dates/times are being finalized and will be announced in our August Newsletter. Feel free to provide us with suggested dates/times that might work well for your school community.

In-person sessions tailored to your school community are still available upon request. 2B CONTINUED is required to offer these sessions before the delivery of the first tMHFA class at your school each year. Attendance is optional for staff and parents; however, we strongly encourage participation.

EXCITING NEWS: 2B CONTINUED'S TMHFA PROGRAM FEATURED ON KARE 11 NEWS! We are proud to share that 2B CONTINUED and its tMHFA school program were featured by Boyd Huppert on his “Land of 10,000 Stories” on Kare 11 News in May, during mental health awareness month. The segment showcased the impactful work of our program.

Our two pilot schools, Lester Prairie and Sibley East, having completed their 3rd year of programming, were highlighted for achieving a significant milestone: all 10th to 12th graders in their respective schools are now trained in tMHFA! We encourage you to read the full feature, watch the video, and see how our mission is making a difference in schools like yours.
