Schools and districts can start the school year with a focus on student and staff mental health and wellness supports with the help of the School-Based Center for Prevention and Early Intervention (SBCOE). The SBCOE offers support and technical assistance to schools and districts at no cost.    
 
The SBCOE can help schools:

• Build competency for school staff to implement evidence-based practices in prevention and early intervention practices;
• Increase student access to mental health resources and services;
• Develop and expand a Student Assistance Program to improve safety and well-being for students and staff; and
• Increase staff wellness strategies.

All Ohio school types are eligible to access support on prevention and early intervention information, resources and information about Student Assistance Programming from the SBCOE.
