School-Based Services
School-Based Services are particularly helpful because of their convenience and accessibility. A child or adolescent’s concerns are approached at school, in a familiar setting, which also prevents care delays such as a family’s schedule or a lack of transportation. Referrals are made by teachers or guidance counselors or are requested by a student’s parent(s) or guardian. Students may also do a self-referral.
