Funding Information:
Building on this pilot, the ongoing WhySchool initiative of EUTIMIA ( http://www.whyschool.eutimia.pt ), a branch of the European Alliance Against Depression in Portugal (EAAD; www.eaad.eu ), is applying an adapted version of the Canadian curriculum resource ( www.teenmentalhealth.org/curriculum ) to improve MHL for teachers and students. Additionally, and similar to Canadian experience [], WhySchool is linking trained primary health care providers with schools to improve access to mental health care for young people who require it. This intervention has been enhanced by electronic-based self-care tools [], training of psychologists working in primary care, and a media campaign. Over 600 teachers have been trained to date in a project supported by the University of Oslo through the EEA Grants program ( www.eeagrants.org ).
