What This Partnership Provides

Mental Health & Wellness Resource Center

A centralized hub offering families immediate access to information, strategies, and tools to support mental health and overall well-being. Resources are available in multiple languages.

Parent Guidance from Licensed Professionals

Parents and caregivers can connect with experienced therapists and mental-health experts who specialize in supporting children and adolescents — including students with diverse learning needs, disabilities, and behavioral challenges.

Why This Matters for BCSSSD

The social-emotional needs of our students are unique, and so is the support we provide. This collaboration ensures that families of the Burlington County Special Services School District have:

  • 24/7 access to reliable, research-based mental-health resources

  • Tools designed specifically for caregivers supporting students with complex needs

  • A trusted partner dedicated to the emotional well-being of our entire school community
