Year-Round Emotional Health Support for Students
Mary’s Center brings our Social Change Model directly to 23 DC Public and Public Charter Schools ensuring equitable and easy access to behavioral health resources during the school year and the summer months. Our School-Based Mental Health (SBMH) program nurtures positive mental health and wellness for children, families, and communities through prevention, early intervention, treatment, and integrated social services. The SBMH team is dedicated to helping children and young adults of all ages with their emotional health challenges. Our kind and highly skilled bilingual therapists work full-time in each school, reducing barriers to behavioral health assessments and culturally appropriate, trauma-informed care.
Please contact your child’s school and request a referral to connect with our on-site clinicians.
Professional Development Program:
The MOMENTUM Residency is a one-year comprehensive professional development program dedicated to excellence in school mental health. Are you a mental health practitioner (social worker or professional counselor) looking for an entry point into school mental health? MOMENTUM offers an opportunity to learn from field experts, gain specialized clinical supervision, and build confidence and skill to ensure DC students have access to the highest quality, most culturally responsive care.
