Medicaid and CHIP Behavioral Health Services: Impact of School-Based Mental Health Care

Mental health is a key contributor to children’s overall health and well-being, affecting how they think, feel, and act. During Mental Health Awareness Month each May, the Connecting Kids to Coverage National Campaign focuses on raising awareness about the important mental and behavioral health services covered by Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and the different ways families can access those services.
