Mental Health/Counseling
Hello and welcome to the DeSoto School District website! My name is Dr. Amy Bennett and I am the Associate Director of Student Services. The DeSoto School District offers many counseling opportunities for your student(s). We have expanded our number of social workers/mental health therapists to allow us to have one in every school! We have added new partners to help provide therapy services to both our students and their families. We’ve added Safe Children Coalition and The Family Care Medical Center. This will allow the school district to offer mental health services to a greater number of students. If you feel that you would like to refer your child to be assessed by a professional to determine if they need counseling, you may contact your school guidance counselor or social worker/mental health therapist to initiate the process. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us for help, we are here to help make your child successful!
If you have questions pertaining to these services please call Dr. Amy Bennett, Department of Student Services at (863)993-1333.
