Welcome to the Behavioral Health Student Services Act (BHSSA) Technical Coaching Team (TCT) on Sustainability, a Commission for Behavioral Health (CBH)-funded initiative supporting BHSSA school-based mental health efforts in California. 

BHSSA provides funding for partnerships between county behavioral health departments, county offices of education, school districts, and charter schools to deliver school-based mental health services and supports for children, youth, and their families or caregivers. To support these county implementation grantees, BHSSA also funds the BHSSA Statewide Technical Assistance Coordinator (STAC), which provides statewide training and technical assistance (TTA) and project management services. 

Three BHSSA counties were also selected to serve as a Technical Coaching Team (TCT) to provide peer TTA to the other BHSSA grantees. The TCT grantees are Tehama County (Data Collection), Placer County (Program Implementation), and Imperial County (Partnership Development, and Sustainability). 

The Technical Coaches work with STAC to provide technical assistance to successfully implement and sustain the BHSSA programs and to develop a range of strategies to build the capacity for excellent student mental health programs in 57 out of 58 California counties. 

We are committed to creating human-centered, dynamic, and richly interpersonal learning spaces that motivate and inspire participants. The TTA approach includes a tiered structure of universal, tailored, and intensive TTA services, rooted in evidence-based practice, practice-based evidence, and community-defined effective practices.
