What are school support services?

School support services describe mental health counseling services available within a school environment. This type of support assists students who are managing underlying mental, emotional, or behavioral disorders, so they can thrive academically and socially.

PATH Therapy Services offers school support services for students dealing with issues like:

• Grief
• Anger
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Behavioral disorders
• Developmental disorders
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

The team takes a personalized, holistic approach to providing students with what they need to improve their mental and emotional well-being.

They also provide educational resources to teachers, school staff, and a student’s family members and other caregivers, so they can better support the student’s mental, emotional, and behavioral health.

What is included in school support services?

PATH Therapy Services offers on-site therapy services to local schools and collaborates with school counselors and other personnel to support the needs of students of all ages.

The team provides support services that include:

• Diagnostic assessments
• Crisis intervention
• Individual counseling
• Group counseling
• Educational resources
• Medication management

The support services can address a range of challenges that students face, including academic problems, social challenges, and chronic mental health issues.

What are the benefits of school support services?

The on-site services PATH Therapy Services provides ensure that students who may not otherwise have access to mental health care due to scheduling or transportation issues get the support they need to be successful.

The team connects with students during school hours, allowing them to access therapeutic services when they need them most. This prevents delays in treatment and other challenges that families face when scheduling mental health care appointments off-site.

School-based mental health services also reduce the stigma associated with mental health care and normalize therapy and other treatments. Children who participate in school-based therapy often feel more comfortable asking for help when struggling mentally or emotionally.

The team collaborates with school staff to gain a deeper understanding of each student’s needs. They also provide therapy services for families at the PATH Therapy Services office, so they can build a strong support system for their children at home.
