SB 12 Mental Health Related Services

The image displays the text %22SB 12 Mental Health Related Services%22 against a blurred background with a soft, blue-tinted lighting.

Senate Bill 12 provides parents with an option to OPT OUT of Mental Health Related services for the academic year.

Under SB 12, parents can choose to opt their child out of:

  • Guidance lessons that cover social and emotional skills (like self-awareness, relationships, conflict resolution, decision-making, and self-management).

  • Brief School counseling services for social, emotional, or behavioral support (even if requested by the student, teacher, or administrator).

If parents opt out, the school cannot provide these services. Instead, parents will be called to come to school to support their child so they can return to learning.
