Our Team

All  KIPP Northern California schools have a broad spectrum of mental health services provided by both Mental Health Clinicians and School Psychologists. Mental Health Clinicians and School Psychologists are supported by both the regional Culture and Special Education departments and work in collaboration with school leadership, staff, and regional support teams to implement comprehensive mental health support across schools.
