Mental Health Student Services Act
The Mental Health Student Services Act (MHSSA) provides grants for partnerships between county mental health agencies and local education agencies to deliver school-based mental health services to young people and their families. These partnerships support outreach to identify early signs of unmet mental health needs, reduce stigma and discrimination, and prevent unmet mental health needs from becoming severe and disabling.

Student Behavior Health Incentive Program
California is in an unprecedented time. Leaders across sectors recognize the growing mental health crisis among youth and are committed to change. While there are multiple examples of excellence across the State, including partnerships between county behavioral health departments and school districts, DHCS seeks to improve the statewide continuum of care to ensure every child receives the behavioral health services they are entitled to, the first time, and every time, they seek care.
