Evidence-Based Intervention Fact Sheets
Evidence-Based Interventions (EBI) are an important component of the Safe Schools/Healthy Students grant. These programs help schools meet SS/HS goals and fulfill the six element requirements. The lists below highlight the most frequently used EBIs by element, and the majority listed have links to either fact sheets created by the National Center or SAMHSA program descriptions. Additional links will be added as we create more fact sheets and continue to update this page. Click on the different EBIs to learn more about these exciting programs.
