School-Based Mental Health

Hampton Township School District is committed to supporting the mental health and emotional well-being of students as an essential component of learning and development. School-based mental health services are designed to provide timely, accessible, and coordinated supports within the school setting.
 
These services are part of the District’s Comprehensive Student Services Plan (Chapter 12) and are delivered through a partnership with Supporting You Counseling and Consulting LLC (SYCC).
 

Partnership with Supporting You Counseling and Consulting (SYCC)

Supporting You Counseling and Consulting LLC provides school-based mental health services to Hampton students during the school day. SYCC clinicians work collaboratively with school staff and families to support student well-being while maintaining appropriate confidentiality and professional standards.

SYCC operates as an outpatient mental health provider within the school environment, allowing students to access services in a familiar and supportive setting.

When concerns arise, school counselors, administrators, or families may initiate a SAP referral to ensure coordinated review, screening, and recommendations.
