About Us

The Nevada Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) Project is a statewide initiative working in close alignment with the Nevada Department of Education (NDE) and the Nevada Department of Public and Behavioral Health (DPBH). Nevada MTSS is housed within the Nevada PBIS Technical Assistance Center at the University of Nevada, Reno. Since its inception in 2014, the project has aimed to build state and local capacity for establishing and sustaining a proactive, data-driven framework that integrates academic, social-emotional, mental health, and behavioral supports. Nevada MTSS supports agency-level infrastructure for state and local educational agencies, correctional and treatment facilities, and other community organizations. Nevada MTSS provides coaching, training, and evaluation services and technical assistance to implementation partners.
