SEED Works - Enrollment

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is eligible for SEEDworks services?

SEEDworks partners with schools to provide mental health services for students who may benefit from additional emotional, behavioral, or social support. Eligibility requirements vary by state and school district. Services may be available through Medicaid or other funding sources, depending on your child's needs and your district's partnership with SEEDworks.

How does my child get referred for services?

Referrals can be made by parents, guardians, teachers, school counselors, administrators, or members of the school's student support team. Once a referral is received, our team guides families through the screening, consent, and intake process.

Will my child miss class for counseling sessions?

How do you protect my child's privacy?

How do you ensure children's safety and well-being?

All SEEDworks clinicians are licensed or supervised professionals who complete background checks and receive ongoing training in child safety, crisis response, trauma-informed care, and evidence-based practices.

How will I communicate with my child's clinician?

Parents and guardians can communicate with clinicians through approved methods established by the school and SEEDworks, including phone calls, secure email, scheduled meetings, and progress updates.

How much do services cost?

Many services are provided at no cost to families through school partnerships and available funding sources, including Medicaid. Costs and coverage may vary based on your location and eligibility. Contact your child's school for details specific to your situation.

What if my child already has an outside therapist or clinician?

It is best practice for students to work with one therapist or clinician at a time. We are happy to discuss the services we provide to help determine what is most appropriate for your child.

How do I enroll my child?

Speak with your child's school counselor, administrator, or student support team — or contact SEEDworks directly to learn more about available services in your area.

What makes SEEDworks different from traditional staffing agencies?

SEEDworks is more than a staffing provider. We partner with districts to build sustainable, school-based mental health systems that integrate with existing Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), improve access to care, and focus on measurable student outcomes. We strive never to supplant, but to supplement the services you already have in place.

How does the SEEDworks model integrate with our existing school support systems?

Our clinicians work collaboratively with school counselors, social workers, psychologists, administrators, and MTSS teams. We align services with your district's existing processes, referral pathways, and student support goals.

How quickly can services be implemented?

Implementation timelines vary depending on district needs, staffing availability, and state requirements. Our team works closely with district leaders to develop an efficient implementation plan and ensure a smooth launch.

Do you provide professional development for educators?

How do we get started?
