SCHOOL-BASED MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM

Picture
Approximately 1 in 10 children suffer from mental illness with some level of impairment. 1 in 5 has a diagnosable mental, emotional, or behavioral disorder. Many of these students will not achieve academic success due to social, emotional, and behavioral problems effecting school performance. 

The School-Based Mental Health Program was established in 2007 and is designed to offer student mental health services within the school setting. The overall  goal of the program is to address and reduce the non-academic barriers interfering with the student's learning. The school mental health therapist is part of the educational team helping to improve attendance, coping with crisis situations, developing self-discipline, building self-esteem, enhancing problem solving, and increasing overall school success in students. 


Common issues addressed in students include:
* anger
* depression
* anxiety
* opposition/defiance
* grief
* self-injury
* social skill deficits
* other emotional/behavioral issues and/or mental health conditions
Services provided by the school mental health therapists include, but are not limited to:
* behavioral observations
* consultation with school staff and families
* assessment of student's emotional and behavioral struggles
* individual and/or small group counseling services
* crisis intervention
* case management services
* professional development opportunities for school staff
Referrals to the school mental health program are made through the school principal and/or the guidance counselor. For more information or questions about this program, please contact Michelle Gebhart (456-2805) or your child's principal/guidance counselor.
