Student Mental Health Support
Is your child struggling to focus or complete tasks? Are they often sad, anxious, frustrated or overwhelmed? These may be signs of anxiety, stress or depression, which can affect their well-being both in and out of the classroom. Your child is not alone.
Many students experience emotional and mental health challenges. Eaton RESA offers free, confidential support through behavior and mental health specialists who work directly with students at their school or, when appropriate, through telehealth.
If you have concerns about your child’s mental health, talk to your school counselor to get connected to an Eaton RESA mental health professional. Early support can make a lasting difference.
