Important Update

Hello, thank you for visiting our website. We are excited to announce that we are becoming the newly formed Southwest Comprehensive Center (Region 9). In addition to serving Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas, we will also be serving Oklahoma and New Mexico. The current content of this website reflects resources from the 2019-2024 Region 14 Comprehensive Center, managed by Westat under a grant from the U.S. Department of Education. The new 2024-2029 Region 14 Comprehensive Center serves the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE).

Stay tuned for a Southwestern makeover as we transition to the Southwest Comprehensive Center (Region 9).

Schools are uniquely situated to identify student’s needs, provide tiered supports, and connect students and families with resources to address needs. Mental health and well-being are foundational elements to student academic success, which is why we enthusiastically support state education agencies to implement school-based social, behavioral, and mental health supports at the local and state level.
