About the Department 

The Department of Student Behavioral Health and Wellbeing is responsible for the leadership and coordination of services and supports to schools and students in the areas of psychological services, Section 504, and the Student Support Team (SST) process. In addition, we utilize the framework of a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) to provide behavioral health support to students. Within this department is also the wellbeing framework, S.P.A.R.K (Schools Partnering to Advance wellness Resilience and Knowledge ). The framework offers a comprehensive multi-tiered approach to the application of wellbeing supports. The Department also provides oversight of the Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) grant.

Our commitment to the district level beliefs outlined in the CCPS Strategic Plan drives our work with students, staff, and families. The comprehensive role of our department within schools is intentionally supported to ensure access to high-quality, equitable services for all Clayton County Public Schools students.
