Our Framework

From fragmented services to coordinated support.

The MSSN framework helps communities connect the people and resources already serving students, then strengthen the pathways between them.

01

Assess

Map student needs, existing programs, referral patterns, capacity, and service gaps.

02

Align

Create shared priorities, partner roles, communication practices, and responsible pathways.

03

Implement

Put practical referral, training, engagement, and coordination workflows into operation.

04

Measure

Review access, implementation, experience, and outcomes to guide continuous improvement.

Designed to strengthen—not replace

MSSN does not replace school teams, clinical providers, government agencies, or community organizations. It establishes a shared structure that makes existing services easier to navigate and more effective together.

Flexible at every scale

The framework can support a single-school pilot, a cluster of schools, a local education agency, a regional initiative, or a statewide partnership. Each implementation is shaped by local needs, partner capacity, and clearly defined goals.

Take the next step

Build a more connected path for Maryland students.
