SBHSN is designed to bring and support highly skilled clinicians into schools, after-school programs, and youth summer programs to assist personnel and other adults who interact with youth in both school settings and local communities. By implementing this program, SBHSN expects to achieve increased access to school-aged youth who may otherwise not have access to counseling services and increased awareness of mental health issues among school-aged youth and adults on campus.
