Stockton Unified School District

Mental Health & Behavior Support Services Department Home

The Mental Health and Behavior Support Services (MH-BSS) department was created on July 1, 2018 as part of Stockton Unified School District’s effort to create learning environments that are safe, nurturing, consistent, and that work for all students. The supports, services, and programs offered through MH-BSS help promote the healthy social-emotional development of all students and address behavioral and mental health-related barriers to learning. MH-BSS strives to incorporate trauma-informed practices and positive behavioral interventions and supports into the school culture to strengthen all components of a welcoming, safe and healthy school environment supporting school-site leadership, teachers, staff, students, and families.
