A one-group (n= 19) mixed design using quantitative (pretest-posttest survey) and qualitative methods (phenomenological analysis of written reflections) was used to explore the meaning and outcomes of participation in the virtual "building capacity process." Statistically significant improvements (p <.00) in pretest-posttest scores of knowledge, beliefs and actions related to addressing mental health were found in 7 of the 9 categories. Four qualitative themes emerged from the data: New thinking regarding 'mental health'; Gearing up for change; Planning led to implementation; and the "Building capacity process" was meaningful and enjoyable. The "building capacity process" expanded student knowledge of a public health approach to mental health resulting in increased awareness and application of embedded strategies to address the mental health needs of students during a Level II Fieldwork experience in school settings.
