Community & School-Based Behavioral Health (CSBBH)

What is CSBBH?

Community & School-Based Behavioral Health (CSBBH) is a voluntary mental health program designed for children and teens who experience emotional or behavioral challenges that interfere with learning. The goal is to help students develop skills to manage emotions and behaviors, improving their ability to succeed academically and socially.

Where and When Are Services Provided?

Services are primarily delivered in the school setting, where students spend most of their day. Additional support is available at home or in the community after school and on weekends, ensuring help is accessible when challenges arise outside of school hours.

What Services Are Offered?

The CSBBH team works collaboratively with students and families to build on strengths and create positive change. Services may include individual, group, or family therapy, behavior management planning, crisis intervention, and referrals to other resources. The focus is on practical strategies that help students manage feelings, improve behavior, and build healthy relationships.

How Is CSBBH Different?

Unlike traditional programs, CSBBH provides flexible, targeted support during the times students need it most. Services are typically approved for up to six months per school semester, allowing for intensive, short-term intervention.

Eligibility

Students must be eligible for Medical Assistance, and be enrolled in a participating school.
