THERAPY ON CAMPUS
At Child & Teen Counseling, we want more children to have access to quality mental health care, regardless of their financial situation. As part of our mission to make therapy more accessible, we partner with local schools to provide free on-campus therapy services to students who might not otherwise have the opportunity to receive support.
Through our Therapy on Campus program, therapist trainees travel to our partner schools and provide therapy sessions during school hours, making it easier for students to get the help they need without the added stress of transportation or scheduling conflicts. Currently, we are proud to provide services at three local schools.
The impact of Therapy on Campus goes beyond the students receiving services. Not only does the program provide life-changing support for families who might not otherwise afford therapy, but it also helps to break down stigma around mental health. Many students who participate come from cultural backgrounds where therapy is not commonly accepted. By making services available in a familiar and accessible setting, we’re able to foster a more open dialogue about mental health within the student population.
Additionally, this program is invaluable for our therapist trainees. It provides them with hands-on experience working with a diverse range of students, giving them a deeper understanding of the unique struggles teens face today. By working directly on school campuses, our trainees gain insight into students’ day-to-day lives, making them more empathetic, culturally competent, and prepared to support young clients in their future careers. In this way our Therapy on Campus program helps us turn out better, more effective clinicians into the therapy community.
