This toolkit provides a framework for a standardized approach to developing and implementing a comprehensive health service referral system in your priority districts and or schools.
It was originally developed in 2016 with a focus solely on sexual health services and was revised in 2022 with a broader focus on mental health, the unique needs of LGBTQIA+ students, supportive services, and providing referrals using flexible tools like telehealth as a standard part of care.
