Saint Louis Counseling’s School Partnership Program (SPP) provides therapists in schools to assist students from kindergarten through 12th grade who attend parochial, private and public schools. The school-specific services are based on the philosophy that the school, family, and community are partners in educating our children, strengthening families and building stronger, safer communities.
