Preliminary analysis of validation evidence for two new scales assessing teachers' confidence and worries related to delivering mental health content in the classroom.

We identified two unidimensional scales measuring concerns educators may have about discussing the topic of mental health in a classroom setting. The Teacher Confidence Scale for Delivering Mental Health Content contains 12 items measuring educators' confidence in delivering mental health related materials in the classroom. The What Worries Me Scale contains 11 items. These scales may be useful for evaluating programs, educational workshops, and other initiatives aimed at improving teachers' abilities to provide mental health content in the classroom.
