SESAME (Schoolwide Positive Behavior Support for Mental Health) is a three-tiered system of support designed to create a safe learning environment for the whole school, in order to prevent the development of internalizing psychosocial disorders in students. SESAME is characterized in particular by the fact that evidence-based methods for assessment and intervention at different support tiers are linked together. The intensity of assessment and intervention depends on the needs of the students.
The implementation of SESAME is managed by qualified SESAME coaches. The SESAME coaches are qualified in a one-week qualification course to accompany and support schools in the process of implementing SESAME.
The SESAME leadership team is responsible for the implementation in a school. The leadership team consists of individual representatives of the school life, such as school leaders, teachers, students and parents. In this way it gives all participants a voice to develop a safe learning environment. The leadership team has the main responsibility for the implementation of SESAME. It also coordinates the collection of evaluation data in order to keep an overview of the implementation in the school and to adapt it if needed.
