The SSBHC planning committee is now accepting submissions for the 12th Annual Conference

“Advancing School Behavioral Health -Scaling Effective Practices Through Innovation”

The Southeastern School Behavioral Health Community (SSBHC) emphasizes well-done school behavioral health (SBH) programs building from partnerships including community mental health clinicians joining schools to strengthen their multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS). Effective SBH is associated with improved school climate, and social-emotional-behavioral-academic functioning in students, and ideally, programs are guided by diverse stakeholders including families and youth, and leaders from youth-serving (e.g., education, mental health, child welfare, juvenile justice, primary care) and other systems (e.g., faith and business communities). The conference provides training, resources, and networking opportunities for all of these stakeholders to collaboratively advance effective SBH.

Conference Objectives

Building Effective Practices and Interventions across the Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS; Tiers 1, 2, and 3) (e.g., Teams, Data-Informed Decision Making, Coaching, Alignment of Programming)
