Your primary focus will be on children and adolescents in school settings who are facing mental health challenges. This includes supporting students who may encounter difficulties such as anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, and those coping with trauma or significant life changes. You will work closely with parents and teachers to create tailored support plans that respect each child's background and needs.
