School-Based Behavioral Health Toolkit

School-Based Behavioral Health Toolkit

RESOURCES FOR GEORGIA

Let’s make behavioral health in schools as common as the school lunch.

Kids are in crisis as behavioral health disorders are on the rise.

Accessing services at school helps students and the community.

SBBH integrates with existing models of support like MTSS.

Schools can get started with a range of supports and service models.

Our children are in a mental health crisis, and their suffering often displays as problematic behavior. But data shows that schools are well-positioned to address kids’ mental and behavioral health, and that school-based programs can improve students’ academic achievement, social skills and self-awareness, and community connections.

If you are an educator, parent, counselor, or student, you can make a difference. Our Collaborative has gathered the resources and tools to help you. Let’s get started.
