Tanager works with area school districts to make evidence-based treatment available to students struggling with mental and behavioral challenges. Involvement from teachers, staff, and parents gives students the best chance for success. Our programming offers students onsite therapy and behavioral health intervention services (BHIS) as well as supports teachers and school officials with training, coaching, mentoring, and consultation and provides parent outreach to connect families with resources in their community.
Tanager School Based services are conveniently offered at school, eliminating the need for caregivers to arrange transportation and reducing time your student misses from the classroom.

Tanager requires insurance for services and accepts Medicaid and most private insurance. Families are responsible for any co-pay that insurance does not cover.
We support students, educators, and mentors.
We believe collaborative promotion of school-based services increases access to care and decreases the stigma associated with seeking mental health support. Please feel free to use the resources in our media kit to share information with students and families in your district, ensuring they know support is available!
