school-based
mental health services
School-based mental health services bring high-quality mental health care into schools and improve access to care for vulnerable students and their families. By providing mental health care during the school day, schools are able to limit time away from school for appointments while increasing access to mental health services for students who may be uninsured or underinsured or who may not have local access to a therapist.
Our licensed mental health professionals provide counseling, therapy, and case management to children struggling with family issues, peer conflicts, emotional concerns, disruptive behavior, or poor attendance.
we currently serve:

Jarrell ISD
Liberty Hill ISD

how we are
funded
Impact Counseling Services is extremely fortunate to partner with local nonprofits and schools to provide individual and group counseling and other school-based services to students, families, and school staff at no cost to families in partner schools.
Interagency Support Council of East Williamson County, St. David's Health Foundation, Georgetown Health Foundation, United Way, VOCA, and, Williamson County Juvenile Services, and the school districts we serve work together to provide funding to support these essential school-based services. Grants pay for a significant portion of program costs, helping to relieve the burden on school districts for meeting the mental health needs of their students and families. These significant partnerships reduce barriers--such as cost, transportation, and time away from school--and increase access to mental health services by providing a dedicated mental health professional on campuses.
We are grateful to our partners and our school districts and want to say thank you for your continued support of school-based mental health services.
