Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports

The Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework is an example of an evidence-based strategy with both education and health benefits. The second and third policy briefs in HPIO’s four-part education and health series describe the importance of student mental health services and supports and school-based social-emotional learning, respectively. Both can be more effectively implemented when combined with PBIS. This fact sheet provides additional detail on PBIS and how it works.
