MVLA School-Based Mental Health Services
School-based Mental Health Services are short-term mental health services and case management for students who are experiencing behavioral, emotional, or social challenges that impede learning.
Services include 6-12 weeks of school-based therapeutic support which may include group support, individual check-ins, 1:1 therapy with school-based treatment goals, or assisting in referrals to outside agencies for on-going, long-term support.
Trained mental health clinicians are also available for drop-in and crisis intervention support during the school day. Students may speak to any adult on campus or visit the Administration office for drop-in support.
