Behavioral Health & Graduation
• The single greatest predictor of a person’s health and well-being across the lifespan is educational attainment.
• Youth with co-occurring needs were the least likely to graduate on time (12%) and most-likely to drop out (80%).
• If high school dropout rates were cut in half nationally, the US would save an estimated $7.3 billion annually in Medicaid spending

Funding Challenges
• The current behavioral health system is built on a clinic-based model that is best suited for adults.
• Infrastructure that is focused on funding only Tier 3 services (instead of early intervention and prevention).
• Fee-for-service models that do not reflect service delivery trends in a school setting.
Funding Sources
• Medicaid
• Private Insurance
• Grants
• Contracts
• State and Local Partners
• School Districts
Great Rivers Region
of assessment and treatment services in the Great Rivers region are to clients who are not Medicaid funded at all or who lose Medicaid coverage at some point during their treatment.25%
Coverage Challenges
• Time in juvenile detention
• Time in an IMD
• Barriers to (re)establishing Medicaid coverage
• Lack of insurance coverage
• Seeking services independently
• Undocumented status
• Custody issues
Multi-Tiered Systems of Support
Tier 3: Behavioral Health Service
Tier 2: Targeted Interventions
Tier 1: School-Wide Practices
