Program Highlight:
School-Based Services

 

  • The Need
    • 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.
