Every Moment Counts

Every Moment Counts is a mental health promotion initiative developed to help all children and youth become mental healthy in order to succeed in school, at home and in the community.

Guiding Philosophy

Every moment counts - small moments can make big differences in how children feel and function in school.

  • Enjoyable experiences throughout the day promote feelings of emotional well-being.
  • Everyone can be a mental health promoter.
  • Addressing the mental health needs of all students with and without disabilities and/or mental health challenges does not involve doing more, but doing differently – namely through embedded strategies

The goals of the OT project include the following:

  1. Build capacity through giving NH OTs the same training as was done in Ohio
  2. Research study including quantitative and qualitative components
  3. Creation of a plan to sustain this approach to professional development and to disseminate it more broadly
