Full Service Schools

Supporting Students, Families, and Schools

Full Service Schools (FSS) is a collaborative partnership between Duval County Public Schools, United Way of Northeast Florida, Kid's Hope Alliance  and community-based organizations that brings mental health, health, social, and supportive services closer to students and families.

Full Service Schools recognizes that students are more successful when their academic, behavioral, mental health, physical health, and basic needs are supported. FSS works to reduce barriers to learning by connecting students and families with services that support their overall well-being.

Services vary by school and community needs and may include:

• Individual and family counseling

• Behavioral health support
