Our Mental Health Services and Child Development Services teams had a great time celebrating Overby Sheppard Elementary School's 50th anniversary! 🎉

Our partnership with OSES started in 2019 as part of our School-Based Services program, offering a clinician on-site fulltime at the school. We've had the privilege of being part of this community supporting students and their families, and thrilled to celebrate this special milestone!
