MHA of Greater Houston’s Center for School Behavioral Health is changing systems and lives through highly specialized professional development opportunities, technical assistance, and community education for school districts across Texas. The Center works to improve the behavioral health of students and faculty through collective action, policy analysis, research, and advocacy.

Most individuals engaged in the work of the Center are campus and district administrators, counselors/therapists, educators, nurses, campus resource personnel, and youth/case workers. The Center’s work also engages parents, relatives, and youth, as well as elected and public officials, including school board members, legislators, and Texas Education Agency (TEA) personnel.

The Center’s School Behavioral Health Conference focuses on behavioral health interventions and outcomes for children in school settings to advance the knowledge and skills related to school mental health practice, research, training, and policy.

“I will incorporate School-wide SEL practices with Character Strong, help build resiliency among students and staff, and continue to support the mental health and overall well-being of students and staff.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed the presentations and discussions. It is refreshing to come together with professionals who are willing to talk about the topics so many tiptoe around.”
