The Southeastern School Behavioral Health Community (SSBHC) promotes academic and personal success by reducing barriers to learning and supporting the social, emotional, and behavioral needs of youth and families in the Southeast.

SSBHC brings together educators, behavioral health professionals, researchers, families, youth, and community partners to advance effective school behavioral health research, practice, and policy. Its work emphasizes integrating behavioral health into multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS), including Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), through the Interconnected Systems Framework (ISF). The Southeastern School Behavioral Health Conference provides opportunities to share research, strengthen partnerships, and exchange practical strategies for supporting student and family well-being.
