Translated to Spanish

Recognizing the need for culturally competent materials, our Typical or Troubled?TM School Mental
Health Education Program was recently modified to be delivered to parents and school staff in
Hispanic communities as Típico o Problemático?TM. It is available in Spanish and English versions. Developed in Latino school communities, the result is a variety of educational tools that are culturally appropriate and encourage learning and dialogue with parents about their teen’s mental health and
how to support their mental health and emotional well-being.
