The OCPS Student Services department is comprised of four teams  (Psychological Services, Social Services, Academic Services, and Mental Health Services) that work together to promote student mental and emotional health, wellbeing, and academic success.  Each school in OCPS has a team of student service professionals from all of these areas who work collaboratively to support the needs of our students at all tiers, and to connect families with necessary resources, whether through the school or through our community. 

Each school also has a Mental Health Designee (generally the school counselor in elementary school and the SAFE Coordinator in secondary schools) who works collaboratively with the student services team and others to put resources and interventions into place that support social/emotional wellbeing and student success. 

Parents/Guardians are encouraged to reach out to your child’s school counselor (elementary) or SAFE Coordinator (secondary) for additional information about available resources or supports.
