School-Based Services
Lotus is a CYBHI Affiliate Provider for schools across Northern California.
At Lotus Educational Services, we understand the unique challenges many schools face when it comes to supporting student mental health. That’s why we’re partnering with Northern California schools as an affiliate provider through the California Youth Behavioral Health Initiative. As a provider, we are able to utilize their Fee Schedule (Fee for Service) to bring flexible, culturally responsive, and school-embedded mental health support directly to your students, staff, and families—without overwhelming your existing resources. From prevention and early intervention to crisis support, training, and staff professional development, Lotus helps you bridge the gap between education and behavioral health. Let’s work together to empower your students, staff and families with the tools and care every student deserves—right where they are.
Why Partner with Lotus to Support Student Wellness?

Our flexible, high-quality services are accessible to all students—whether covered by Medi-Cal or private insurance.
Lotus’ professionals can deliver evidence-based counseling, wellness coaching, presentations, and mental health support on your campus, at our Redding location, The Lotus Center, or through secure telehealth platforms. These school-embedded services help educators address student needs early, improve emotional resilience, and foster a healthier school community. With Lotus as your partner, your school gains a trusted resource for meeting the social, emotional, and behavioral health needs of every student.
