Best Practices

In accordance with statutory requirements established by TEC §38.351, The Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) coordinates with the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and Education Service Centers (ESCs) to annually review a list of recommended best-practice programs, and practices, for public schools. In collaboration, these entities have compiled a list of practices and programs to create the Mental and Behavioral Health Recommended Evidence-Based Programs and Research-Based Practices Repository. The repository includes important practices and programs for school leader’s consideration. These resources are intended to support mental and behavioral health along with academic achievement.
