According to the CDC’s Project to Learn About Youth-Mental Health (PLAY–MH), 1 in 6 K-12 students have a childhood mental disorder. Anxiety disorders are the most common, followed by oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
How Sycamores Helps
Sycamores clinicians provide mental health services at the school or in the surrounding community.
Works collaboratively with faculty, administration and families – becoming part of the fabric of the school. This allows for easy referral for students to mental health services who otherwise may not be able to access this care.
Having mentally healthy students provides for a productive learning environment
Additional services provided include
individual, family and group therapy,
psychiatry
services for students who also struggle with substance use
24-7 on call crisis intervention
Additional training throughout the year is given to our partner schools’ teachers and administrators to help them better understand the signs of and how to support child mental health disorders.
