The purpose of this paper is to inform legislators and government agencies on the gravity of the current issue and engage continuing support toward prevention, intervention, and postvention system improvements and initiatives, including school, community, and state agency integration of services and sustainable funding for school-based and community-based behavioral health sciences.
