Education DepartmentInterior DepartmentProgram changeAug 27, 2026

Check: The Behavioral Health and Wellness Program (BHWP) for Bureau-funded schools and institutions has ended its services, and the revised collection will not gather additional information for it.

Read in the Federal Register

What it does

BHWP provided behavioral health and wellness services and resources for students and staff at Bureau-operated schools, Tribally controlled schools, post-secondary institutions, and Tribal colleges and universities. With BHWP concluded, the revised student data collection under OMB Control Number 1076-0122 will not collect BHWP information going forward.

Why it matters for tribal funding

Directly tribal. The document is about tribes, tribal programs or Native organizations specifically.

Who it covers: Tribal governments, Tribal colleges and universities.

What to do next

  1. Confirm with your BIE program contact whether any BHWP reporting or service records remain open and how they close out.
  2. Remove BHWP data requests from school and college reporting calendars for the renewed collection.
