The South Carolina School Behavioral Health Academy seeks to help districts respond to the youth mental health crisis by integrating behavioral health into the Multi-tiered System of Supports (MTSS)

Who We Are

The South Carolina School Behavioral Health Academy (SBHA) is an exciting initiative transforming school behavioral health (SBH) in South Carolina. The SBHA was created in partnership between the University of South Carolina (USC) and the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SC DHSS), and it is implemented by a team of researchers, practitioners, and consultants from psychology, education, and social work. The goal of the SBHA is to advance and strengthen school behavioral health, increase access to high-quality mental health care, and provide essential resources for educators and community members.

The SBHA reaches these goals by creating a community of learning through online instruction and personalized district coaching. Online SBHA courses provide valuable resources for implementing MTSS practices and provide learners with skills needed to improve student mental health and strengthen school behavioral health in South Carolina. Academy courses are for everyone: they are directed towards professionals working in the school setting but are available for any family or community members interested in supporting youth. Courses are available free of charge, completely self-paced, and easily accessible on our online platform. Personalized district coaching is also available to connect online learning to everyday practice: interested districts are connected with an expert in the field who assists them with the MTSS implementation process as needed.

Check back often for updates to our page such as Academy resources and opportunities to connect with the Academy.
