What is School-Based Mental Health?
A School-Based Mental Health Program (SBMH) is like having a mental health office inside a school. A range of services are available and provided by licensed, clinical therapists. All services are private and confidential.
Why Have Mental Health Programs in the School?
Children develop coping skills that may prevent them from developing long-term problems
Solution-oriented therapy provides relief from symptoms earlier rather than later, thus improving the quality of life experiences
Improves academic performance and personal relationships with family and friends
Eliminates barriers to accessing these services by making them available in the school
