Ohio State partners with Dublin City Schools to support students' mental health

DUBLIN, Ohio (WCMH) -- Dublin City Schools and the Ohio State University are teaming up to improve mental health in schools. 

In the summer of 2023, a group of 25 teachers and staff from Dublin City Schools began the Educator-to-Social Work Pathway program. It's a rigorous two-year initiative created because of the need for mental health support in schools across Ohio.

Dublin City Schools currently has eighteen mental health specialists. And with the 25 teachers graduating in May, they will more than double that number.
