Mental Health Integration through an
Interconnected Systems Framework

ISF

The Interconnected Systems Framework (ISF) is a structure and process to integrate Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports and School Mental Health within school systems. The goal is to blend resources, training, systems, data, and practices in order to improve outcomes for all children and youth. There is an emphasis on prevention, early identification, and intervention of the social, emotional, and behavior needs of students. Family and community partner involvement is critical to this framework. This page has a variety of resources, training materials, tools, and recorded webinars.

PaTTANpod is brought to you by the Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network, and is a discussion forum for speaking to national and regional professionals in the field of education.
