school-based therapy

School-based therapy is a mental health service provided within a school setting, aimed at supporting students' emotional and psychological well-being. It involves licensed therapists or counselors working directly with students to address various issues such as anxiety, depression, bullying, or learning difficulties. The goal is to help students develop coping strategies, improve social skills, and enhance their overall functioning in school. This therapy is often more accessible for students since it removes barriers like transportation and scheduling, allowing for timely support during the school day. It fosters a supportive environment for academic and personal growth.
