Mental health days

Mental health days (one day per month) have helped my son tremendously. After the first few visits, his psychiatrist brought it to our attention that this would be a possibility. I was extremely skeptical that the school system would allow him to miss one day a month for mental health. It wasn't ever spoken of his entire school career until middle school. 

At first, I thought he would abuse the privilege of trying to take a mental health day on a test day perhaps or a project that he had to turn in. But the school counselor, his mother, and I made it clear to him that would not be the case. 

If I start noticing his lack of energy, or wanting to be around family, or communication, and he hasn't had his one day of the month, I ask him if he'd like to take the next school day as his mental health day.
