ABOUT

According to the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL), SEL is “an integral part of education and human development. SEL is the process through which all young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions.”

2.) MOBILE ACCESS HUB 

Mobile Access Hub (MAH) is a Bi-County Collaboration / Sutter and Yuba County .  Our Mission is to educate students and staff, remove negative stigmas and provide responsive services to students identified as having a mental health need via a Mobile Access Hub model.  Our Vision is for all children in Yuba and Sutter County Schools to have equitable access to mental health services in order to be self-sufficient at maintaining their mental health and to maximize their engagement in the academic and social experiences designed by our schools.
