Boston Public Schools Behavioral Health Services

Read about The BHS department is comprised of over 100 school psychologists and over 50 graduate students, which support all BPS schools to provide student-level services (e.g. counseling & interventions) and systems-level services (e.g. climate team facilitation). Every child experiences a pro-social curriculum as part of their classroom and school experience. Teachers periodically review each of their students’ behavioral health strengths and needs. Students in need of additional support are provided appropriate services in a timely fashion. Teams of teachers and administrators review student behavioral health data and process on a regular basis. Community partners, families, and school personnel meet periodically and are in consistent communication about children who are receiving support.
