District 47 Partners with Daybreak Health to Expand Mental Health Services for all K-8 Students
The district is excited to announce a new partnership with Daybreak Health, a leading provider of school-based mental health services. Starting late April 2024, students from District 47 will gain access to 12 weeks of unlimited teletherapy sessions with qualified mental health clinicians from Daybreak. Access will be facilitated through referrals by D47 clinicians. District 47 is the first school district in Illinois to provide this evidence-based teletherapy program, and it's offered at no cost to families.
Students will be referred to the program by District 47 social workers, counselors and psychologists based on their needs and the accessibility of therapy to their parent(s)/guardian(s). The program is tailored to support K-8 students, with a focus on working collaboratively with their families to provide the best possible support. Daybreak’s qualified mental health clinicians offer personalized guidance, support, and coaching to address the specific challenges faced by each child. These services are provided at no cost to families and include monthly check-ins with parents or guardians, check-ins with school staff, and a post-care plan following the last session. In addition to teletherapy, Daybreak will offer mental health classes for District 47 families and staff. Click here for more information.
