In-District Mental Health Support Services
Public schools lack the resources and expertise to provide mental health support to the growing number of students who need help. Without that help, students are failing, teachers are overburdened, and districts face staggering out-of-district placement expenses.
Sage Thrive fills the gap, and saves districts money, by delivering therapeutic support within the school district. We provide comprehensive and customized mental health services that address the particular needs of the district and its students. Every school we serve benefits not only from the services of our embedded clinicians, but also from our expert supervision, collaborative case reviews, and training resources.
For students with emotional and psychological issues, school can be stressful. By working with our Sage Certified CliniciansTM, school districts can help students overcome their barriers to learning and reach their potential. Students learn to cope with depression, anxiety, school phobia, and suicidal thoughts. And, they can stay where they belong, in their own school district.
