Abstract
This article was authored to illustrate how school-based mental health professionals can provide pragmatic support to teachers and students in virtual environments. Although K12 education has had remote options for many years, the COVID-19 pandemic has illuminated issues that may occur with virtual learning. School-based mental health professionals can provide resources and interventions to assist students, teachers, and caregivers in navigating the academic difficulties that may occur in remote education. Additionally, these mental health professionals can assist in providing socio-emotional and behavioral support and interventions. By promoting and advocating for equity in education, school-based mental health professionals can help students meet their educational goals and prepare for the future. Implications for school-based mental health professions and future research areas are included.
