Furthering the advancement of school behavioral health in your community

Abstract

Distills ideas from each chapter in this book reflecting stakeholder recommendations for advancing school behavioral health (SBH) in a community related to major critical themes (collaboration, school-wide approaches, cultural humility, program quality, implementation support) and priority populations (juvenile justice, child welfare, military families). Reflecting ideas from the eight focus groups, and the experiences of contributors to the book, 34 specific recommendations for advancing SBH in a community are presented. This concluding chapter also underscores the importance of the community of practice approach, discusses the COVID-19 interface, and presents a number of pragmatic resources for this work.
