Our Initiatives

For more than 20 years, the School-Based Health Alliance has been at the forefront of efforts to advance child and adolescent health. Our collaboration with national, state, and local partner organizations has yielded a multitude of resources, learning collaboratives, and initiatives that have helped to establish and enhance school-based health care as a critical component of community health.

Our work

We are continually making An impact

Through our initiatives, we have been able to empower school-based health providers with the knowledge, tools, and resources necessary to respond effectively to the unique health needs of children and adolescents. By building their capacity and promoting best practices, we have not only improved the quality of care provided but also helped to establish a strong foundation for future generations.

Our work has had a profound impact on the development of school-based health care and the broader community. By investing in this critical area of healthcare, we have been able to help promote the well-being of children and adolescents and create a healthier, more prosperous future for all.
