Mental Health Services & Resources
KISD’s professional school counselors are the main point of contact for student mental health concerns. Please contact your campus’ counselor to discuss your student’s specific needs and how they can be supported at school.
KISD’s district-level Licensed Mental Health Professionals support our campus counselors and may assess and provide short term services to students as needed. KISD’s Licensed Mental Health Professionals may also assist with counseling at campuses following a crisis with an individual student or in our community.
