Supporting Student Mental Health in Lawrence County Schools
Lawrence County Schools are committed to the mental and emotional well-being of our students. As part of this commitment, we offer free, school-based therapy services to all students during regular school hours. These services are available at no cost to families and are provided in a confidential and supportive setting.
Therapists work directly with students to address a wide range of needs, including:
- Anxiety, stress, or depression
- Grief and loss
- Behavioral or emotional challenges
- Family or peer-related concerns
- Trauma and adjustment difficulties
Therapy is coordinated through your child’s school and does not require private insurance or Medicaid to participate. Services are designed to be flexible and integrated into the school day with minimal disruption to academic learning.
