Unlocking Support for Your Family: Now Accepting the “Step Up For Students Scholarship” at Bayview Therapy
At Bayview Therapy, we are passionate about providing accessible mental health services to all families, including those who may need financial assistance. That’s why we’re excited to announce that one of our psychologists, Dr. Lauren Goldstein, has been approved as a DIRECT PAY provider by the Step Up For Students Scholarships program in Florida.
Step Up For Students is a non-profit organization that offers scholarships for Florida based families to access crucial psychological and educational services.
This program helps eligible families to apply their scholarship funds towards comprehensive psychological evaluations and testing for children between the ages of 3 through 12th grade or age 22 (whichever comes first).
If your child is struggling with mental health or behavioral challenges and needs additional support, this scholarship may be a great opportunity for you. Whether your child is dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, or other emotional or behavioral concerns, we are here to help, and Step Up For Students can make it easier for you to access the care you need.
Dr. Lauren Goldstein is an approved direct pay provider through the Step Up Scholarship program who provides comprehensive Psychological Testing & Evaluations for children, teens, and adults at our Coral Springs and Plantation, Florida offices. She also offers online evaluations when it’s the best fit.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through how the Step Up For Students scholarship can benefit your family and how we are involved in this initiative to help provide access to psychological services.
What is the Step Up For Students Scholarship?
Step Up For Students is a well-established non-profit organization in Florida dedicated to providing scholarships for low-income families and those with special needs. These scholarships allow families to choose educational services and resources, such as therapy, specialists, and other essential services for their children.
The Family Empowerment Scholarship (FES) and Family Empowerment Scholarship for Students with Unique Abilities (FES-UA) are two of the programs under Step Up For Students that can be used to access counseling and therapy services, which include the services we provide at Bayview Therapy.
If your child is eligible for the scholarship, you can use the funds for a variety of services, including therapy for emotional challenges, mental health struggles, and other developmental needs. This is especially beneficial for families who might otherwise have difficulty affording counseling services.
