Accessing Community Agencies for Additional Assistance
The School District of Palm Beach County wants to help parents address the social, emotional, and mental health of their
children by linking students and families in need with community agencies that provide aid. A number of community

other services by dialing 2-1-1 or by contacting their child’s school counselor.
