School Mental Health Capacity Building Partnership Resources

The School Mental Health Capacity Building Partnership (SMHCBP) was a 5--year cooperative agreement between the Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) Division for Adolescent Health and the National Assembly on School-Based Health Care (NASBHC), with the CSMH serving as the primary national partner to the initiative. The overall charge of the SMHCBP was to build capacity of state and local education agencies to provide effective and sustainable school mental health services to young people.
