Results from a research study investigating the outcomes of a universal mental health program based on Mental Health Literacy (Kutcher, Wei, & Coniglio, 2016) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills (Miller, Rathus, & Linehan, 2006) will be shared. Participants included 995 students in grades 3-12. Modules were designed based on UDL “multiple means” principles. Data was collected 3x/year related to implementation and student self-reported sense of belonging, resiliency, self-concept and classroom climate. Analyses using R for HLM indicated large effect sizes for all four variables, and themes related to resiliency, and the importance of school based social support networks. Results will be discussed in terms of implications for implementation and future research.
