Strengthening Families Through Behavioral Health
What is School-Based Behavioral Health?
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 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.

“I have watched [my granddaughter] go from building her self esteem to shutting down physically and emotionally... I have [some] sense of hope, because I have been able to get ongoing weekly therapy for her...It is very important that she continues to receive support with professionals in school. I know for her and many other children these services need to be available and continue for them to achieve academically.”
