TCHATT Contacts:
If you have access to Trayt, you may now start referring students for TCHATT services. Please check your email for communication from Trayt to complete enrollment. As a reminder, this school year the district lead for your school oversees district user enrollment and can assist you with activating your Trayt account going forward. Counselors and staff will not have access to send referrals until Trayt registration is complete.
Access to all TCHATT materials including administrative documents, consent forms, program flyers, and more can be found on the Hidden Counselor Page.
I am your outreach coordinator and available for any general TCHATT questions. If you have a question about the status of a referral you have submitted, contact your care assistant, Sulema Alonso, (sulema.alonso@childrens.com). Below you will find the contact information for all the clinicians who are serving your district. You can contact them with specific questions about a student receiving services. We are looking forward to working with you!
