Mental Health Program

Many children struggle with mental health challenges in silence, often feeling like they have no one to turn to. They may experience feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, or isolation. Unlike adults, children may not always recognize when it's time to seek help, and some may feel embarrassed or ashamed about their mental health struggles. These are just a few reasons why we believe the role of school mental health professionals is crucial at FAMU DRS.

 

School mental health professionals play a vital role in helping students manage mental health challenges in healthy and constructive ways. They provide essential support to students and families, work to prevent school violence, assist with career planning, and much more. Collaborating closely with school counselors and student support services teams, our mental health professionals are dedicated to ensuring the well-being and success of every student and family at FAMU DRS.
