School Based Mental Health






The Arkansas Department of Education (ADE) has fostered the development of school-based mental health programs within the Arkansas public school districts. ADE recognizes the relationship between mental health needs and school performance. Addressing these mental health needs through best practices will promote higher achievement in the education setting for Arkansas students. Coming soon there will be the NEW School-Based Mental Health Policy and Procedures Manual. This manual will provide information and guidance related to School-Based Mental Health. The development of School-Based Mental Health (SBMH) is supported by the ADE's willingness to promote mental health services with professionalism, quality, and accountability, without regard to student or family Medicaid or third-party enrollment.
