Tift County Schools is proud to announce a new collaboration with ESE Mental Health to offer referrals to access to high-quality mental health services for our middle school and high school students.
Through this partnership, students will have increased access to licensed mental health professionals who can provide counseling and support —right here in our school community. This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to the well-being of every student and to creating safe, supportive environments where they can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
We are grateful for this opportunity to work together in supporting the whole child.
Thank you GaDOE for listening to our concerns and acknowledging the importance of providing service opportunities to our students in need. We hope to expand this service to all students in the near future.
For additional information, please contact your school principal or school counselor.
