Frequently Asked Questions
How does Ikon Kids partner with schools?
We offer customizable partnership packages including: classroom mental health workshops, teacher training on mental health identification, school counselor consultation, parent information nights, and student referral pathways to Ikon Kids services.
Is Ikon Kids’ faith component appropriate in public schools?
In public schools, we deliver all content in a secular, clinically appropriate format. Faith is not discussed in school settings unless the school is a Christian institution. All content meets ASCA (American School Counselor Association) standards.
What does a classroom mental health workshop look like?
Age-appropriate 30–45 minute workshops on topics like: emotional vocabulary, coping strategies, how to get help when you’re struggling, friendship and conflict resolution, and mental health stigma reduction.
How do teachers benefit from the partnership?
Teachers receive training in recognizing signs of childhood mental health challenges, de-escalation techniques, trauma-informed classroom practices, and referral protocols. This reduces teacher burnout and improves student outcomes.
Does the school partnership cost anything?
Many school partnerships are provided at no cost through Ikon Kids’ donor funding. Schools in underserved communities are prioritized for fully-funded partnerships. Contact us to discuss your school’s situation.
