School-Based Mental Health & Wellness Path
Our School-Based Mental Health & Wellness Path is designed to serve you on your road to a career supporting schools as centers of wellness.
In Sacramento, we believe that every student deserves to have mental health supports in the classrooms anytime they need it. We are transforming schools into centers of wellness by placing mental health teams in every school across the county. This is transformational work, and we need your help.
Education Path
