The schools do provide counseling and therapy. Just not nearly enough. If a child doesn't have a good advocate, they typically need to be completely debilitated by their emotional issues before getting help, since simply having horrifically traumatic life experiences is commonplace in schools like these. By that point, it's trying to put a band-aid on a deep wound. They need intensive intervention, but receive maybe an hour a week from a school psychologist who is probably handling a case load that would crush most people's souls.
