Enhancing Mental Health at SSFUSD

Our district has partnered with Daybreak Health, a school-based mental health company, to offer 1:1 teletherapy services to our students and their families, with qualified clinicians. These services will be provided at no cost to families.

If a student is struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, stress, or other mental health related issues, they can get referred to this program, have an intake appointment, and get matched with a therapist based on their individual needs within 1-2 weeks. The student will meet with their therapist once/week for 50-minutes over ~12 weeks. All sessions are hosted over Zoom and can take place before, during or after school hours, during the week or even on Saturdays.

During the program, the student’s therapist will help them understand their emotions and learn new skills and strategies to manage their symptoms that they can use in class, at home, and throughout their life.

If you have a student who you think could benefit from virtual mental health support, reach out to your School Counselor, Wellness Counselor, or Administrators for more information.

Daybreak Health also offers free webinars throughout the year to help parents better understand what kind of developmental and behavioral changes their children might be going through and how best to support them. Information about the webinars will be sent out once dates are confirmed.
