Mental Health and Wellness
Mental Health & Wellness
If you feel your child is having a behavioral health emergency, or they are at risk of harming themselves or someone else, please immediately call 911.
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. There are many different types of mental health services available for Flagler Schools students.
Every Flagler Schools student has access to mental health services, either through their health insurance, Medicaid, or the Full Service Schools (FSS) grant. Families with insurance should contact their insurance company to determine who their providers are. If the student is uninsured, families are encouraged to apply for benefits from Medicaid. If your student is in need of counseling services, please reach out to your student's school counselor. Contact information can be found on your student’s school website.
