Mental and emotional health are important areas of a child’s holistic development. Both mental and emotional health affect physical and behavioral health in significant ways. Many students at the Dream Center Educational & Health Center are referred for academic help, but professionals have discovered the problems are rooted in mental, emotional, or behavioral issues. The US Department of Health & Human Services indicates one of the biggest myths for children’s health is the need for mental health services (USDHHS, 2023). This program will assess and treat the students' mental, behavioral, and emotional health and transition them on a path to healthy adulthood. Goal #1: To decrease the number of students enrolled in an alternative school for behavior issues and violence at the Dream Center Educational & Health Center. The center seeks to provide advanced services to their current education assistance, food, and clothing program, including violence prevention, mental health, emotional health, and behavioral health services. Goal #2: To provide quality mental and behavioral services at the Dream Center Health & Educational Center, they will employ three mental health professionals to provide treatment for students and family members. Objective 1: Within the first six months, the Dream Center Educational & Health Center will decrease the number of students not enrolled in mental and behavioral health services by 50%. Objective 2: Within the first year of providing mental and behavioral health treatment, 100% of all students who are assessed for treatment will be enrolled in a treatment program. By June 30, 2024, year one of advanced services, the Dream Center will employ three volunteer mental health professionals to assess and treat 100% of the student’s psychological needs (Thabrew & Gega, 2023).
