Why Choose Lotus?
We understand the unique challenges that rural schools face—such as limited access to providers, community stigma, and geographic isolation. That’s why we deliver trauma-informed, culturally aware care tailored to each school’s environment. Our team works collaboratively with your educators and staff to build sustainable systems of support that last beyond one-time interventions. Best of all, our services are funded through the California Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI), drastically reducing or even eliminating direct costs for schools.
