What is School Based Mental Health Services?

The American Academy of Pediatrics has declared children’s mental health a national emergency.

SCYAP is responding to the national and state call to mitigate the child and adolescent mental health crisis and improve access to school-based mental health services (SBMHS) by adding SBMHS to its array of community-based services.

SCYAP has offices in Beaufort, Charleston, Columbia, Florence, Greenville, and Myrtle Beach. It also has mental health clinics in Charleston and Columbia. Given its statewide reach and regionalized structure, SCYAP is well-positioned to help meet the need for SBMHS across the State. Moreover, SCYAP’s family services and in- home therapy program can help maintain necessary mental health supports for students when schools are not in session.
