The Maine Department of Education supports students physical, emotional, and mental health. A healthy school:
- builds a safe and caring learning community, with consistent routines that allow students to be well known and well supported;
- develops restorative practices that are trauma-informed and healing-oriented; and
- fosters culturally responsive and inclusive learning experiences through which all students feel valued.
