The Brookline Center’s School Mental Health Innovation Hub partners with K–12 schools and districts to build, strengthen, and scale practical school mental health solutions. Rooted in The Brookline Center’s deep experience in community mental health and school-based innovation, the Hub connects school leaders with proven programs, emerging ideas, and collaborative learning opportunities that help students heal, learn, and thrive.
The Hub serves as a front door to The Brookline Center’s school-focused mental health work. School and district leaders can use it to identify the right resources, connect with the right teams, and bring effective supports to students, staff, and families. The Hub also convenes educators, clinicians, and system leaders through initiatives such as the Northeast School Mental Health Symposium, creating space to share what works, accelerate innovation, and advance a more responsive future for school mental health.
For school leaders, district administrators, student support teams, clinicians, and community partners, the Hub brings together programs and resources focused on student reintegration, Tier 3 intervention, professional learning, telebehavioral health, and conflict resolution.
bryt Tier 3 Intervention
bryt is a school-based Tier 3 intervention that helps students whose learning has been disrupted by serious mental health or medical challenges. The model combines short-term clinical support, academic coordination, family accompaniment, and care coordination so students can return to school, rebuild stability, and continue progressing in a safe, supportive learning environment.
brytInsight
brytInsight provides professional development, consultation, and coaching for school teams working to strengthen student mental health supports. Through customized learning experiences, brytInsight helps educators, clinicians, and leaders build shared understanding, sharpen core practices, and support staff wellness so schools can respond to students and families with greater confidence, coordination, and care.
Massachusetts School-Based Telebehavioral Health Pilot Program
The Massachusetts School-Based Telebehavioral Health Project expands access to high-quality mental health care for K–12 students, especially in underserved urban and rural communities. Through secure telehealth connections, schools help students connect with offsite therapists while coordinating with families, providers, and local resources to reduce barriers to care and support student well-being.
