School-Based Telehealth
The Voices in School Health series was developed by the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS) to highlight school health models, partnerships, and implementation strategies to inform school-based health efforts in Virginia. Through conversations with leaders and practitioners from Virginia and other states, the series introduces practical considerations for developing, sustaining, and strengthening school-based health services beyond those provided to students by school nurses.
