Increasingly, K-12 students can access mental health help in the place where they spend a lot of their time: school. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, one-fifth of U.S. students received some type of school-supported mental health services during the 2002-2003 school year. One-third of districts said that since 2000, they had experienced federal, state, and local funding declines for these services, even as the need for these services increased.
