Children spend up to one-third of their lives in the school system. Their interactions with teachers, coaches and peers often exceed those with their own family. DaySpring provides counseling services in many schools. We work with the child, the family and the school to identify the child’s strengths, needs, abilities and preferences. We help develop meaningful plans to promote positive change. Our goal is to reduce significant behavioral or emotional problems by increasing the child or adolescent's self-image, academic success and daily functioning.
