Mental Health and Behavior Support Services (MH-BSS)
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.
