School-Based Mental Health Services


We partner with community mental health providers to provide 

school-based mental health services for students.  In addition, the district employs our own mental health therapist.

Students are seen on campus by a licensed mental health therapist. 

If you are interested in referring a student for school-based mental health, please contact our Mental Health Coordinator/Navigator.
