The MTSS-B TA Center supports New Hampshire schools and districts to build system capacity for implementing the Multi-Tiered System of Supports for Behavioral Health and Wellness (MTSS-B), a tiered prevention and school-community mental health integration framework that supports improved social-emotional and behavioral outcomes for students. The MTSS-B TA Center provides training, coaching, and technical assistance to New Hampshire school districts to support implementation of MTSS-B.
The NH MTSS-B Technical Assistance Center was developed by the Behavioral Health Improvement Institute (BHII) at Keene State College in partnership with the Office of Social and Emotional Wellness (OSEW) at the NH Department of Education (NHED) Bureau of Student Wellness and Nutrition.
BHII works shoulder to shoulder with community partners to improve behavioral health practice and outcomes for underserved populations and is a go-to hub for behavioral-health-related program evaluation and technical assistance in New Hampshire and beyond.
OSEW took on sole operation of the NH MTSS-B TA Center in October 2024. OSEW provides opportunities for technical assistance, professional development, and training, and facilitates access to state and federal funding in support of student social and emotional wellness.
Development of the NH MTSS-B TA Center was funded by two state-level grants awarded to NHED: a 2019 U.S. Department of Education School Climate Transformation Grant and a 2020 SAMHSA System of Care grant.
The MTSS-B TA Center is informed by a multi-sector, state-level MTSS-B Advisory Committee that provides input on MTSS-B strategies, planning efforts, and supports awareness and dissemination of the framework throughout New Hampshire schools and communities. The MAC meets bi-monthly; meeting minutes are available on the Advisory Committee page.
The MTSS-B TA Center was developed by the Behavioral Health Improvement Institute (BHII) at Keene State College in partnership with the Office of Social Emotional Wellness (OSEW) at the NH Department of Education. OSEW houses a cadre of MTSS-B Consultants who offer training, consultation, ongoing coaching, and other forms of technical assistance to NH school districts.
