Mental/Behavioral Health Resources

The Richland School District is committed to supporting the well-being and mental health of all students and staff.

Below you will find a list of articles and resources that can assist you when talking with your child. 

Community Resources

Local mental health care providers and agencies are crucial partners in supporting our students and families. Youth Access and Resource Program (YARP) was created to provide individuals and families with local and national behavioral and mental health resources. YARP compiles a list of Mental Health Counseling Resources with provider availability that is updated bi-weekly.
