How do I make a referral?
Referrals to the RBHS (Rehabilitative Behavioral Health Services) program can only be made by school counselors and administrators as of the 2026-2027 school year.
Below is a link to complete a referral online. A paper copy may be requested.
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.
What is the intake process like?
A parent or guardian must attend an initial intake appointment and sign necessary consents before their student can begin therapy services.
The appointment will take place at Lake Forest Elementary.
Prepare for the appointment to last 60 to 90 minutes.
If your student has Medicaid, please bring a copy of their Medicaid card.
If your student does not have Medicaid, the services can be provided at no cost.
