 What Happens after a referral is Submitted?

• Mental health counselor will contact the parent/guardian via email or phone to ask any clarifying questions they may have based off referral information and proceed with scheduling an intake appointment within 5-7 business days of receiving the referral.

• If there is currently a waitlist for mental health services due to the high volume of referrals, you will be notified by the Mental Health Counselor and you may choose to remain on the waitlist or further service provider information can be provided as requested.  

• Referrals are prioritized by severity of needs. If you submit a referral and have questions about referral status, please email me kacooper@greenville.k12.sc.us or contact my office phone at 864-355-4042.
