Despite their benefits, SBHPs face several challenges:
Funding: Securing adequate funding can be difficult, especially in under-resourced areas. Staffing: Recruiting and retaining qualified health professionals to work in schools can be challenging. Coordination: Ensuring effective coordination between schools, health providers, and community resources is essential but can be complex. Privacy Concerns: Managing the confidentiality of student health information is critical and can be a barrier to service delivery.
