About the Campaign

In celebration of students heading back to school, SBHA is hosting an exciting video competition, “Unboxing the School-Based Health Center.” 

We invite youth and school-based health center staff to create short videos that showcase their daily experiences with School-Based Health Centers (SBHCs). Highlight everything from attending appointments, participating in wellness programs, and showcasing SBHC services, to how SBHC has positively impacted your life.

Your video message should talk about one of the below messages:

Personal Experience

  • Share your daily life with the school-based health center and how it helps you thrive.
  • Show us how you interact with the school-based health center.


Community and Support

  • SBHC is more than healthcare; it’s a community.
  • How has the school-based health center supported you and your friends?

Health and Well-being

  • From check-ups to counseling, the school-based health center is here for your health.
  • How does the school-based health center help you stay healthy and focused?


Educational Impact

  • Healthy students are better learners – how does the school-based health center support your education?
  • Tell us how the school-based health center helps you succeed in school.
