Strengthening Families Through Behavioral Health
What is the School-Based Behavioral Health Expansion Program?
For decades, DC has faced a behavioral health crisis, with thousands of children struggling to get the help they need. The School-Based Behavioral Health Expansion Program (SBBH) helps solve this problem by connecting kids to an array of behavioral health services right in their DC public schools or public charter schools.
“Our school based provider was essential in building relationships with students in need of support. By being on site, she was able to provide consistent support to our most vulnerable students. Her predictable presence was an asset to our community with regard to the social emotional wellness in crisis situations as well as general wellness.”
