| Abstract: | The article focuses on integrated school behavioral health (SBH) services within multitiered systems of support (MTSS) to enhance student well-being and academic success. It highlights frameworks such as positive behavior interventions and supports (PBIS) and the interconnected systems framework (ISF) that promote preventive, collaborative approaches involving schools, families, and community clinicians. Examples from North Carolina, Baltimore City, and Colorado illustrate how diverse funding strategies, including Medicaid, grants, and interagency collaboration, support sustainable SBH programs. The article emphasizes the importance of advocacy and legislative engagement at state and federal levels to secure ongoing funding and policy support for comprehensive SBH systems.
