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.

Referral Process:
- School-based services are initiated by self-referral (youth and/or family member) and/or school personnel.
- Self-referrals can be initiated by contacting intake specialists.
- School personnel can initiate referrals by following their Student Assistance Program guidelines at their respective schools.
- Students are then assessed by a Mental Health Professional. Following the results of the assessment, therapy interventions and/or care coordination is facilitated by a team member.
