Pinellas Support Team

The Pinellas Support Team (PST) is a behavioral health program that provides services to families in Pinellas County with children in pre-kindergarten through high school, who are experiencing difficulties at school and/or home due to behavioral or emotional issues.

There are an increasing number of school-age children with behavioral issues that impede their ability to function optimally at home and school, affecting a child's ability to lean and perform well academically. PST is family driven and strength-based, and provides educational, supportive and preventative services through a collaborative effort to support children and their families. Families are afforded provision of services in the neighborhood setting of their choice, including in-home services. Spanish speaking staff is available.
