SBIRT Frequently Asked Questions

The SBIRT (Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral To services) program is grant funded by King County’s Best Starts for Kids (BSK) levy, the Mental Illness Drug Dependency (MIDD) sales tax, and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). SBIRT aims to reduce youth substance use, promote mental health, and provide students with the resources needed to thrive. SBIRT and the Check Yourself questionnaire are completely voluntary. Families can choose to excuse their student, and students can also decline to participate. For more information on Check Yourself or SBIRT, please review the Frequently Asked Questions below.
