Transform Lives Through Mental Health in Dripping Springs, TX

To empower students, families, and educators in Dripping Springs, TX, Dripping Springs Education Foundation (DSEF) started a mental health initiative to prioritize well-being through accessible support and reliable resources. We collaborate with mental health professionals to promote resilience, emotional balance, and a brighter future for our students and the community. By addressing our schools' unique mental health needs, we help create a culture of care and connection. Together, we’re creating meaningful change where it matters most.

Dedicated Mental Health Counselors for Students and Staff

Our mental health initiative began in 2019, when DSEF partnered with Dripping Springs Independent School District (DSISD) to hire three Licensed Mental Health Professionals, ensuring vital support for counseling and social-emotional learning across all schools. This initiative expanded in 2023 with a renewed three-year commitment and the hiring of a designated counselor to serve DSISD staff. This highlights our sustained dedication to the mental wellness of not just our students but staff and the broader Dripping Springs Community.

Why Is Mental Health for K-12 Students Important?

Mental health programs for kindergarten through high school students play a crucial role in their overall development, equipping children and adolescents with the tools to manage their emotions, build resilience, and develop healthy coping strategies. By addressing mental health and wellness early, students can better prepare to handle academic pressures and social challenges. Comprehensive support also fosters a positive learning environment, enabling students to thrive emotionally and academically while laying the foundation for long-term well-being.
