The curriculum shall incorporate school-based mental health services and other resources that connect students and families with community-based mental health services. One-half unit of mental health awareness may count as one-half unit of health education. Units of coursework that meet the requirements of career and technical education health sciences requirements and incorporate the mental health awareness curriculum satisfy the mental health awareness unit requirements.3.16.2.
