Mental health support 
for students at 
Memphis Shelby County Schools

Daybreak is partnering with districts across the country to provide personalized mental health support to help students reach their full potential.

Empowering students to be their best selves.

When kids are mentally healthy, they can think clearly, pay better attention, and learn new skills. Our evidence-based teletherapy programs for K-12 students have proven to positively impact academic outcomes like behavioral improvements, better grades, and higher attendance.

Students focused

Specific student subpopulations are at a higher risk of mental health challenges. Historically, those include underserved youth who are: experiencing homelessness, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, low income, or living in rural areas.

With MSCS minority enrollment of ~89% and more than 50% of students who are economically disadvantaged, Daybreak has specialized teletherapy programs built for their unique needs.

Culturally Responsive & Linguistically Competent Care

Daybreak actively and intentionally works to build a diverse clinical team so that we can foster strong therapeutic alliances. We personally match our students to their therapist based on presenting needs, cultural background, language, and personal preferences. This is why 90% of the students we work with say we matched them to the right clinician.
