This reference sheet to the many mental health resources and websites available to you is provided by the SMMPTA Council with the help of Shuli Lotan, our mental health counseling coordinator.
First, if you are concerned about your child’s mental well-being, the SMMUSD webpage has a link to Family Resources here. Group and individual counseling services for SMMUSD students are available on a limited basis at school sites to help support students in need. For assistance getting connected to services on or off campus, please contact the following person depending on your child’s age level, who can talk with you about what supports may be available to you.
Elementary school – Principal or Assistant principal
Middle or High School – Counselor / Academic Advisor
If you need further assistance obtaining or navigating insurance to connect your child to mental health counseling off campus and would like to speak directly with the district’s Mental Health Counseling Coordinator, please contact Shuli Lotan at slotan@smmusd.org or (310) 395-3204 ext. 71519.
