Daybreak Health: Virtual therapy for students 5-19
When kids are mentally healthy, they can think clearly, pay better attention, and learn new skills. That’s why we have partnered with Daybreak Health, a school-based mental health company, to provide teletherapy to our students. Students are matched with qualified clinicians who can help them with issues such anxiety, depression, attention & focus, relationships, stress, and more.
You can submit a Care Request here for your child. The teletherapy program lasts 12 weeks and appointments are available Monday-Saturday, 8 a.m.-8 p.m. Therapy session content will remain confidential.
For younger students (ages 5-9), Daybreak offers a family therapy program where you attend the sessions with your child. For older students (ages 10+), Daybreak offers a 1:1 program where your child meets individually with a clinician. For more information or to speak with a Care Coordinator email carecoordinator@daybreakhealth.com or call (415) 992-6155.
