Mental Health Specialists
Dublin City Schools employs specialists that work with students presenting mental health needs that significantly impact their academic success.
Mental Health Specialist staff members are trained mental health professionals who collaborate with schools, families and communities to reduce barriers to student learning and enhance positive mental wellness. Services focus on enhancing the student’s ability to acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary for becoming a healthy, productive individual. Our team provides services to students in a way that builds upon individual strengths, respects diversity and life experiences, prioritizes personal goals and fosters meaningful relationships.
