We are happy to announce that our district is continuing our longstanding partnership with Beach Cities Health District and South Bay Children's Health Center (SBCHC) to help support the individual social and emotional needs of our students, families and staff again this school year. SBCHC is a local non-profit agency, founded in 1947, that offers a full range of child and youth focused dental and mental health services.
Through their South Bay Youth Project that partners with many local school districts, we will again have Licensed Mental Health Clinicians available to work with our school community on a referral basis. If you would like to arrange a time for you or your student to speak with one of the therapists assigned to your child's school please reach out to your school counselor who will be happy to connect you. https://www.sbchc.com/programs/south-bay-youth-project/ .
