Abstract
Recent health care reform provides many new opportunities
to expand mental health and behavioral support to students
in schools and school–community partnerships. Through newly
available funding sources, as well as expanded legislative initiatives,
school psychologists can advocate for and become leaders
in delivering universal programming, tiered mental health
supports, and formalized collaborative efforts with community
agencies. The authors highlight the application of tiered levels of
services, with current practice samples, designed to address students’
mental and behavioral health. Implications for practice are
discussed.
