About LearnWell

LearnWell is specialized and dedicated to supporting the 49% of all students who may face an underlying mental health condition—such as depression, anxiety or other mood disorders—which often manifest in self-destructive behavior, substance use, and eating disorders. In partnership with treatment facilities and school districts, we provide an integrated set of academic and mental wellness services for students and their families throughout the continuum of care. As students begin to show signs of emerging mental health needs, our psychiatric counseling teams provide therapeutic support for schools to help reduce the risk of hospitalization or other crises. When students are hospitalized, our educators provide a specialized approach to supporting the academic progress for those receiving mental health treatment. Upon discharge from the hospital, we provide the ongoing mental health counseling and one-to-one academic tutoring for students as they re-integrate back into the classroom environment.
