Mental Health Services in Schools
As mental health problems are found even earlier than before, it is helpful that schools have recognized the benefits of offering mental health services. According to Health, Mental Health and Safety Guidelines for Schools, “up to three-quarters of U.S. children receiving professional care for a mental health problem obtained services through a school-based program.” (www.nationalguidelines.org) The benefits of the programs offered in your local school system can assist your child with behavioral or emotional issues, and will ensure that the teachers are aware of the special circumstances needed for your child. To find out more, contact your local school.
