Why Do Schools Need Mental Health Providers?
Educating our children is much more than just teaching them reading, writing and math. As educators we are committed to the development of the 'whole child', which includes their social and emotional development. District mental health providers (school psychologists and school social workers) are a cooperative member of the school community and your child's educational experience. As a profession, we are dedicated to partnering with both parents and teachers to help develop the social skills and character that will enable your child to become a contributing, positive member of future communities.
