Given the increasing concerns about mental health problems among adolescents and young people, especially in Iran, it is imperative that national education and health systems seriously consider strengthening and developing school- based mental health (SBMH) services. School- based health centers (SBHCs) offer a range of mental health services including crisis response, thorough individual assessment and treatment, case coordination, support for classroom behavior and academic performance, counseling for substance use, evaluation and management of learning difficulties, peer conflict resolution, and the prescription and oversight of behavioral health medications.
